Tliis  work  (Bnlletin  No.  44)  is  one  of  a  series  of  papers  intended  to 
innstratc  the  collections  belonging  to  the  United  States,  and  consti- 
tuting the  National  Musenm,  of  which  the  Smithsttninn  Institution 
was  placed  in  charge  by  the  act  of  Congress  of  i\ugust  10, 1840. 

The  publications  of  the  National  Museum  consist  of  two  series — the 
Bulletin,  of  which  this  is  No.  44,  in  continuous  series,  and  the  I'rocoed- 
ings,  of  which  the  sixteenth  volume  is  now  in  press.  A  small  edition 
of  each  pa])er  in  the  Proceedings  is  distributed  in  pamphlet  form  to 
specialists  in  advance  of  the  publication  of  the  bound  volume. 

The  Bulletin  of  the  Natioiml  Museum,  the  publication  of  which  was 
commenced  in  1875,  consists  of  elaborate  papers  based  upon  the  col- 
lections of  the  Musenm,  reports  of  expeditions,  etc.,  while  the  Proceed- 
ings facilitate  the  prompt  publication  of  freshly-acquired  facts  relating 
to  biology,  anthropology,  and  g;-ology,  descriptions  of  restricted  groups 
of  animals  ;ind  plants,  the  discussion  of  parti<*ular  questions  relative 
to  the  synonymy  of  species,  and  the  diaries  of  minor  expeditions. 

Other  papers,  of  more  general  popiUar  interest,  are  printed  in  the 
Appendix  to  the  Annual  Report. 

Full  lists  of  the  publications  of  the  Museum  may  be  found  in  the 
current  catalogues  of  tlie  publications  of  the  Smithsonian  Institution. 

Papers  intended  for  publication  in  the  Proceedings  and  Bulletin  of 
the  National  Museum  nre  referred  to  the  Committee  on  Publications,

PREFACE. 


The  basis  of  good  work  in  any  science  3  »  knowledge  of  what  ha^ 
been  done  in  the  past.  This  proposition  does  not  need  argument  for 
its  support,  and  it  follows,  logically,  that  any  work  which  facilitates 
the  acquirement  of  this  basic  knowledge  and  brings  together  system- 
atically and  critically  the  results  theretofore  obtained  will  also  facilitate 
the  advance  of  the  science.  The  study  of  the  North  American  Noc- 
tuidte  has  been  seriously  embarrassed  by  the  difficulty  in  acquiring 
tliis  foundation;  not  always  because  books  were  lacking,  but  often  be- 
cause the  knowledge  was  contained  in  so  many  without  an  index  to 
guide  the  student.  Since  Mr.  G  rote's  catalogue  of  1874  no  comprehen- 
sive bibliographical  work  on  this  family  has  been  published,  while  the 
number  of  species  has  nearly  doubled  and  the  literature  has  increased 
enormously.  This  state  of  affairs  results  in  the  formation  of  card  cata- 
logues or  indices  made  by  each  student  to  facilitate  his  own  work,  and 
gradually  he  becomes  familiar  with  the  knowledge  published  by  his  prede- 
cessors. But  this  does  not  help  others,  and  the  same  work  is  done  over 
and  over  again  by  those  engaged  in  the  same  fields  of  study.  It  has  also 
been  extremely  difficult,  even  alter  becoming  familiar  with  the  literature, 
to  ascertain  exactly  what  species  were  really  before  the  older  writers. 
Characters  now  regarded  as  essential  were  not  even  noted  by  them  and 
descriptions  which,  with  the  few  species  at  hand,  were  characteristic 
and  {Minted  became  vague  and  indefinite  when  larger  material  brought 
us  many  and  closely  allied  species.  The  greatest  bugbear  to  American 
Lepidoptcrists  has  been  the  work  of  Francis  Walker  in  the  (catalogues 
of  the  British  Museum.  Mr.  Grote  after  twenty  years  of  study  in  the 
Noctuidae  had  failed  to  identify  a  large  percentage  of  the  spe<;ies,  while 
even  of  the  species  described  by  (luenoe  forty  years  ago,  a  number  are 
still  unidentified  in  American  collections.  For  ten  years  I  have  been 
accumulating  material  for  a  monograph  of  the  North  American  Noc- 
tuidie,  and  have  examined  about  all  the  books  obtainable  in  Philadel- 
phia, New  York,  Washington,  and  elsewhere,  and  have  purchased 
papers  on  the  subject  whenever  opportunity  offered.  1  have  hatl,  dur- 
ing that  time,  unusual  o])portunities  for  studying  the  material  in  the 
leading  American  collections,  and  some  of  the  results  obtained  have 
been  published  in  my  various  '« Contributions  toward  a  monograph  of 
the  Nootuidffi  of  Tenii»ernte  North  America."

PREFACE. 


Some  years  ago  it  wa»  conteinplnted  by  Dr.  G.  V.  Riley  and  myself 
to  iHMue  a  complete  monograph  of  tliis  family,  giving  all  that  could  be 
learned  of  the  early  stages  as  well  as  the  more  strictly  systematic  work, 
and  for  several  >  ears  a  great  deal  of  material  was  gathered.  It  is  to 
Dr.  liiley  that  I  owe  a  very  large  part  of  the  facilities  for  study  in  the 
scattered  collections,  and  my  sincere  gratitude  isdueto  him  for  his  many 
kindnesses  of  all  descriptions.  Pressureof  more  imperative  dutiescom- 
IHilled  Dr.  Riley  to  abandon  his  part  of  the  work,  and  I  have  gradually 
published  such  portions  as  were  completed. 

With  the  knowledge  to  be  obtained  in  American  collections,  the  ne- 
cessity for  studying  the  material  contained  in  those  of  Enro]>e,  and 
especially  that  in  the  British  Museum,  became  constantly  more  obvious. 
In  September,  1891,  it  became  {Mssible  for  me  to  get  away  for  a  few 
weeks,  and  in  the  interest  of  the  United  States  National  Museum  un- 
der instructions  from  the  assistant  secretary  of  the  Smithsonian  Insti- 
tute in  charge  of  the  Museum,  I  carefully  studied  parts  of  the  collec- 
ti<ms  contained  in  the  museums  at  London,  Paris,  and  Berlin,  and  visited 
also  the  Staudinger  collection  at  Dresden. 

Tlie  notes  made  by  me  during  this  trip  are  incorporiitcd  in  the  follow* 
ing  pages;  but  a  brief  statement  of  the  character  and  condition  of  the 
collections  examined  may  not  be  amiss. 

The  Bi-itish  Museum  contains  of  American  Noctuidte  the  material 
collected  by  Doubleday  and  worked  over  by  Guende  in  1852,  and  by 
Walker  between  IS;")*}  and  1858;  the  material  from  all  other  sources 
worked  over  by  Walker  during  the  same  period;  the  Zeller  collection 
and  the  Grote  collection,  besides  the  miscellaneims  accumulations  from 
all  sources,  including  a  very  interesting  h»t  collected  by  Lonl  Walsing- 
ham.  The  Doubleday  material  is  in  large  part  provided  with  locality 
labels,  but  it  als<»  contains  specimens  purchased  by  him,  the  fatherland 
of  which  is  more  than  doubtful.  (iuent>e  has  in  some  instances  written 
"New  Yorck,"  where  nothing  *  the  insect  nor  in  the  record  will  author- 
ize it.  It  is  in  most  cases  easy  t.o  identify  the  specimens  described  by 
Guen<^e,  though  not  all  of  them  have  labels  in  his  handwriting,  Walker 
had,  in  addition  to  the  Donblcday  material  c^uitaining  theGuen^e  types, 
a  lot  of  material  colle»^ted  in  Nova  Scotia  and  in  the  British  Possessions 
in  North  America.  Some  of  the  Abbot  material  is  also  in  the  collec- 
tion. Mr.  W.  F.  Kirby  says  (Can.  Hnt.,  xx,  231),^' There  are  a  number 
of  spet'imens  originally  collected  by  Abbot  in  the  British  Museum  and 
probably  in  other  collections,"  and  this  is  borne  out  by  the  fact  that 
some  of  the  specimens  seen  by  me  are  evidently  the  originals  of  the 
figures  contained  in  the  magnitlcent  c(»lle<;tion  of  A  bbot's  drawings  in 
the  Museum.  Among  them  are  such  rarities  as  CoHsm  bnsalis  Wlk. 
{Inffuromorpha  ftlossoni  Hy.  Edw.),  and  Avherdoa  ferraria  Wlk.  ( Varina 
ornata  Neum.),  both  of  them  only  recently  rediscovered  and  redescribed. 
The  figures  of  the.se  species  are  exact  copies  of  the  specimens  furnish- 
ing Walker's  types,  though  the  Museum  record  gives  no  clue  to  the 
source  of  the  specimens. 


PRKPACE.  7 

Miu'll  of  tbe  material  (1e8r,ril>ecl  by  Walker  is  in  very  |ioor  couditiou, 
aud  it  required  a  very  tliorougb  kiiowled^*'  ot  the  American  laaiia  U* 
identify  the  .species  in  all  cases.  Walker's  metlnid,  accordinip^  to  butler 
( Journ.  liinn.  So<;.,  Zoiil.,  Vol.  xii,  pp.  4(>2  and  432),  and  iNTSonal  state 
ments  to  me,  was  rather  i)eculiar.  His  habit  was  to  pin  into  a  Iwx,  in 
series,  as  many  specimens  as  it  would  conveniently  hold,  and  then  begin 
describing.  At  the  end  of  the  day's  toil  the  Ik)x  would  be  closed  with- 
out indication  of  what  had  been  accomplished,  aud  next  morning  work 
would  be  reconmienced  from  recollection  of  what  bad  been  previously 
done.  None  of  tbe  s|)ecimens  were  labeled  until  the  descriptions  were 
in  type,  aud  then,  using  a  proof  sheet,  the  printed  names  were  (;ut  out 
and  pinned  below  the  series  of  specimens,  not  on  the  insects  themselves. 
Sometimes  it  happened  thai  there  were  more  names  than  insects;  in 
such  case  the  label  was  pinned  into  the  box  and,  occasionally,  tbe  record 
"type  lost,"  was  made.  Thus,  sometimes  two  of  Walker's  names  may 
refer  to  tbe  same  s]>ecimen  as  well  as  to  tbe  same  species,  aud  it  is  not 
always  easy  to  ascertain  when  this  is  so.  Judging  from  the  fact  that 
sometimes  tbe  descriptions  do  not  in  the  least  fit  the  specimens  labeled, 
there  is  reason  to  believe  that  no  great  care  in  applying  tbe  names  was 
exercised. 

Messrs.  Grote  and  Robinson,  and  afterward  Mr.  Grote  alone,  have 
examined  tbe  Walker  material  and  have  identified  many  of  tbe  species. 
In  1887  Dr.  Biley  looked  over  tbe  material  carefully  and  secured  colored 
figures  of  many  of  tbe  species  theretofore  unrecognized.  These  figures 
and  the  notes  accompanying  them.  Dr.  Biley  has  kindly  loaned  me  aud 
they  have  been  of  assistance  to  me  in  a  number  of  instances.  Mr.  But- 
ler has,  recently,  in  rearranging  the  collection,  published  tbe  sy- 
nonymy of  some  others  of  tbe  Walker  8]>ecie8.  Mr.  Grote  seems  never 
to  have  silent  sufficient  time  at  the  work  to  get  more  than  a  few  scatter- 
ing notes,  and  most  of  these  seem  to  have  been  made  without  material 
for  comparison  and  from  recollection  merely.  Yet  most  of  them  are 
correct.  Mr.  Butler's  knowledge  of  our  fauna  is  altogether  too  slight 
to  make  bis  notes  conclusive  in  tbe  case  of  obscure  species.  Critical 
or  synonymical  notes  should  never  be  made  except  upon  careful  study 
and  comparis(m  by  a  specrialist  or  one  fiilly  acquainted  with  the  fauna 
concerned.  Justi<;e  to  an  author  requires  that  his  writings  be  studied 
before  relegating  bis  species  to  tbe  synonymy,  and  if  neither  time  nor 
opportunity  tor  such  study  exists,  it  is  simply  adding  confusion  to  ig- 
norance to  make  synonymical  notes  on  superficial  comparisons. 

Mr.  Henry  Kd  wards  has  also  on  one  or  more  occasions  examined 
portions  of  the  Museum  collections,  but  seems  never  to  have  made  any 
systematic  study.  He  has  informed  me  in  conversation  that  be  bad 
nofiCs  on  many  of  tbe  Bombycids  which  he  intended  to  put  into  shape 
for  publication ;  but  bis  untimely  death  prevented  this. 

Tbe  new  arrangement  of  tbe  noctuids  in  tbe  British  Museum  is  utterly 
at  variance  with  accepted  standards.    Mr.  Butlei''s  generic  associations

PREFACE. 


embrace  specieH  of  Badena,  Mameatra,  Tteniocampa  and  otherft  under 
oue  term,  while  cIoMely  allied  Hpecie.s  may  be  widely  Heparated  under 
different  generic  uames.  Mr.  Butler  has  not,  to  my  knowledge,  given 
any  key  to  his  classification,  and  criticism  is  therefore  impossible.  I 
wish  simply  to  call  attention  to  the  fact  that  in  this  collection  the 
arrangement  of  the  species  is  on  a  unique  basis,  and  that  few  of  the 
generic  ii8S4)ciations  are  pure,  according  to  German,  French,  and  Ameri- 
can definitions.  Judged  by  these  standards  the  arrangement  is  an  ut- 
terly unscientific  hotchpotch.  In  the  course  of  this  rearrangement, 
Mr.  Butler  has  united  the  Orote  and  Zeller  material  with  the  old  col- 
lection, forming  one  scries.  The  Walker  types  are  ascertained  and 
the  printed  label  associated  with  the  specimen  is  placed  on  the  pin. 
If  the  Walker  name  has  priority,  a  <'type^  disk  is  pinned  next  to 
it.  If  the  name  is  a  synonym,  the  "  type  "  disk  is  put  on  the  pin  with 
the  insect  and  with  the  printed  label.  In  all  cases  where  the  type  of 
a  species  is  in  the  series  a  "type"  disk  next  the  si^ccimen  calls  atten- 
tion to  it.  This  greatly  facilitates  the  search  for  species,  and  my  task 
was  considerably  lightened  by  my  ability  to  compare  the  Guen^e, 
Walker,  and  Grote  types  side  by  side.  Mr.  Butler  has  published  crit- 
ical and  synonymical  notes  on  the  species  so  far  as  arranged,  much  the 
greater  part  of  them  in  the  "Entomologist,"  since  my  visit  to  the 
Museum.  In  the  majority  of  instances  the  associations  are  correct; 
but  much  of  the  synonymy  given  was  already  known,  and  in  that  which 
is  new  there  are  some  bad  errors,  caused  by  the  failure  to  compare 
structural  characters  and  relying  only  on  an  api)arent,  superficial  re- 
semblance. But  many  species  were  yet  left  unidentified  with  the  other 
American  material.  In  those  parts  of  the  collection  not  yet  arranged, 
the  work  was  more  tedious  and  involved  more  labor.  There  was  an 
advantage,  however,  in  the  fact  that  the  arrangement  was  according  to 
Walker's  catalogues  and  it  was  thus  easy  to  find  the  specimens,  little 
as  the  association  might  be  warranted.  Mr.  Butler  in  his  rearrange- 
ment seems  to  have  preserved,  as  far  as  possible,  every  original  label 
that  would  indicate  or  aid  in  identifying  a  type  and  has  additionally 
marked  those  specimens  that  he  considers  as  such. 

I  thus  made  my  studies  under  exceptionally  favorable  circumstances. 
The  Grote  collection  is  really  the  basis  of  the  nomenclature  in  Ameri- 
can collections  generally,  and  a  very  great  point  was  gained  when  I 
could  identify  the  Guen^e  and  Walker  names  with  the  Grote  names  for 
the  same  species.  In  addition,  I  had  with  me  a  small  series  of  speci- 
mens generally  unnamed  in  collections,  or  of  which  I  was  doubtful, 
and  these  were  carefully  compared.  A  full  set  of  my  own  monographic 
papers  enabled  me  to  verify  the  correctness  of  the  identifications  there 
made,  and  a  series  of  notes  and  drawings  aided  me  in  other  groups.  In 
the  Deltoids  1  liad  drawings  of  nearly  all  the  species  as  they  are  named 
in  the  National  Museum,  and  these  were  carefully  compared  and  the 
synonymy  noted.    I  think  I  can  claim  a  familiarity  with  a  very  large 


PREFACE. 


percentage  of  the  American  species,  and  I  could  thus  readily  determine 
,in  most  instances  whether  or  not  I  correctly  knew  the  insects.  As  my 
time  was  limited,  I  did  not  study  Aoronycta,  which  Dr.  Riley  ha<l  already 
studied  on  a  prior  occasion,  nor  CatocalUj  which  Messrs.  Grote  and 
Henry  Edwards  had  compared.  Outside  of  these  genera  I  found  all 
save  four  or  Ave  of  the  Walker  species,  and  was  able  to  recognize  nearly 
all  of  them.  Of  those  n<»t  found,  Mr.  Bntler  has  seen  no  trace  as  yet, 
and  they  may  be  "lost."  Some  few,  *  believe  five  s|)ecies,  dcscril)ed  by 
Mr.  Walker,  from  the  Saunders  collection,  now  at  Oxford,  are  yet  un- 
known to  roe,  asl  could  not  get  to  that  city.*  The  species  described 
from  Dr.  Bethune's  collection  I  have  previously  ulentifled,  and  the  ty|)es 
are  now  in  the  National  Museum.  In  Vols,  v  and  vi  of  the  Canadian 
Naturalist  and  Geologist,  Mr.  Walker  described  a  few  species  collected 
by  Mr.  D'Urban,  and  afterward  donated  to  the  Entomological  Society 
of  Ontario.  These  Mr.  Grote  has  examined,  and  most  of  them  were 
identified  with  other  described  species;  the  others  were  omitted  from 
all  of  Mr.  Grote's  lists,  and  were  ;;,,-j  tten.  To  the  kindnes^s  of  Mr.  J. 
Alston  Moffat,  curator  of  the  Society,  I  owe  un  opportunity  of  exam- 
ining these  species,  and  have  identified  them  in  the  following  pages. 

I  desire  at  this  point  to  express  my  sincere  thanks  to  Mr.  Butler  and 
to  the  entire  Entomological  Staff  of  the  British  Museum,  for  the  ready 
courtesy  and  great  kindness  with  which  they  gave  all  aid  in  their  power 
to  facilitate  my  work.  A  regretable  attack  of  illness  contined  Mr.  Butler 
to  his  home  during  most  of  my  stay,  else  I  might  perhaps  have  suc- 
ceeded in  finding  a  trat^e  of  the  few  yet  unidentified  species.  I  do  not 
at  all  agree  with  Mr.  Butler's  ideas  on  Noctuid  genera,  yet  this  does 
not  prevent  a  high  appreciation  of  the  work  he  has  done,  nor  a  feeling 
of  sincere  gratitude  for  the  good  natured  readiness  with  which  he  gave 
nie  all  the  assistance  in  his  power. 

A  knowledge  of  the  collections  now  in  the  British  ^Museum  is  the 
basis  of  our  knowledge  of  the  North  American  Noctuidse  to-day. 

Some  of  the  species  described  by  Guunee  are  in  the  Jardin  des  Plantes 
in  Paris,  and  this  I  also  visited.  The  museum  and  the  co11c(*tions  there 
were  a  distinct  disappointment.  Not  only  is  it  cooi)ed  up  in  numerous 
small  rooms,  packed  in  inconvenient  places,  but  for  yciirs  past  it  seems 
to  have  had  little  or  no  attention,  and  there  is  apparently  no  ]»retence 
of  arrangement.  Yet  with  the  kind  assistance  of  M.  Aug.  Sall«3, 1  did 
succeed  in  getting  at  most  of  the  species  ntarked  "M.  N.,"  in  the  s^  <icies 
General.  I  was  in  hopes  of  being  able  to  get  track  of  the  Abbot  draw- 
ings, from  which  Guen<^e  described  a  number  of  species;  but  I  did  not 
succeed  in  this.  It  was  a  matter  of  great  regret  to  me  that  I  did  not 
spend  the  time  devoted  to  Paris,  in  visiting  M.  Oberthiir  at  liennes; 
but  I  did  not  realize  how  little  there  was  of  importiince,  at  Paris,  and 
how  much  there  was  at  Beiines.  The  brief  time  at  my  disi)osal  nmde 
it  impossible  to  repair  the  error  ami  I  went  on  to  Berlin. 

*  I  have  since,  by  the  kind  aosiHtuncu  ut'  Mr.  \Vm,  Scliaua,  identillcd  ilirc;  ui  llieiii.

PREFACE. 


Hero  ugain  I  found  a  well-preserved  and  well-arranged  collection,  not 
particnlarly  rich  in  North  American  species,  but  with  many  South 
American  forms  valuable  for  comparisons,  generic  and  otherwise,  and 
with  a  cimsiderable  number  of  arctit;  forms,  including  some  of  Dr. 
Staudinger's  types. 

I  owe  thanks  here  to  Dr.  Karsch  for  his  obliging  courtesy  in  giving 
such  assistance  as  1  asked.  In  fact,  the  most  pleasant  and  agreeable 
features  of  my  trip  were  the  hearty  cooperation  I  met  with  everywhere 
aud  the  ready  willingness  to  aid,  by  any  means  in  their  power,  that 
distinguished  call  those  having  charge  of  the  collections  1  desired  to  see. 

The  trip  to  Dresden  was  a  distinct  disappointment.  Dr.  Staudinger 
was  not  iu  town,  and  the  Moeschler  collection  had  not  been  acquired  by 
him  as  I  had  been  informed  it  had.  Mr.  E.  Bang-Haas  did  all  in  his 
power  by  showing  me  such  northern  material  as  had  been  studied  by 
Dr.  Staudinger;  but  this  was  a  poor  substitute  for  what  I  had  expected 
or  had  been  led  tt)  expect.  My  leave  of  absem-e  was  then  about  ex- 
hausted and  I  returned  to  Anunica  via  Bremen. 

Ill  preparing  the  notes  made  in  the  Euroi)ean  collections  I  found  that 
it  would  be  necessary  to  refer  to  the  greater  part  of  the  «lescribed 
species,  and  after  consulting  with  Dr.  Kiley,  I  concluded  to  prepare  a 
catalogue  embodying  not  only  my  notes  on  the  types  in  foreign  collec- 
tions, but  also  on  those  iu  American  collections.  My  aim  is  to  give,  as 
nearly  as  m.ay  be,  the  present  location  of  the  type  specimen  of  every 
noctuid  species  described  from  America  since  (Tueiiee  wrote. 

This  necessitates  a  reference  to  some  of  the  American  collections 
containing  types.  Of  the  individual  collections,  by  far  the  most  im- 
portant is  that  of  Mr.  B.  Neumoegen,  of  New  York  city.  Mr.  Neum- 
oegen  has  succeeded  in  accumulating  a  very  large  amount  of  valuable 
material,  mainly  tVom  the  Western  States,  and  this  has  been  in  large 
part  named  by  Mr.  Grote,  Mr.  Henry  Edwards,  and  more  recently  by 
myself.  He  has  the  type>  of  233  or  about  13  per  cent  of  our  species  j 
not  always  uniipie  types,  but  specimens  so  marktul. 

Ni'xt  in  importance  is  the  collection  of  the  late  Henry  Edwards,  also 
of  New  York  city.  Mr.  Edwards  rlescribed  many  species  from  his  own 
collection  and  furnished  specimens  for  a  considerable  number  of  the 
species  described  by  Messrs.  Grote  and  Hsirvey.  A  large  part  of  the 
value  of  Mr.  Edwards'  collection  is  derived  froni  the  fact  that  he  pei- 
soually  collected  a  very  great  portion  of  it,  and  that  it  is  labeled  with 
the  exact  l(>cality  of  capture  and  not  merely  with  a  State  label.  This 
collection  has  been  acciuired  for  tlu^  American  Museum  of  Natural 
History  in  New  Y'^ork  city,  and  will  be,  when  iu  place  theie,  a  most 
viilnable  one  for  the  student. 

Tlie  collection  of  Mr.  Fred  Tepper,  of  Brooklyn,  now  the  property  of 
the  Agricultural  College  of  Michigan  is  uext  in  rank,  containing  IU 
types,  many  of  them  described  by  Mr.  Morrison,  aud  some  of  them 
duplicating  the  "types"  in  other  collections.

The  Strecker  collection  at  Reading, Pa.,  contains  aconsiderable num- 
ber of  types;  not  only  all  that  were  described  by  Dr.  Strecker  himself 
but  also  some  of  those  describe<l  by  Mr.  Morrison  and  Dr.  Behr. 

At  some  distance  behind  are  the  collections  of  Mr.  E.  L.  Graef,  of 
Brooklyn,  N.  Y ;  Dr.  Roland  Tbaxter,  of  Cambridge,  Mass. ;  Dr.  J.  A. 
Lintner,  of  Albany,  N.  Y.;  Dr.  George  D.  Hulst,  of  Brooklyn,  N.  Y.; 
Mrs.  C.  H.  Fernald,  Amlierst,  Mass.,  and  the  collections  of  Dr.  Jauies 
Bailey  and  Mr.  W.  W.  Hill,  both  of  Albany,  N.  Y.,  deceased. 

I  owe  thanks  in  each  case  to  the  owners  of  the  collections  above 
named  for  courtesies  extended  to  me  and  in  some  cases  for  lists  of  the 
types  contained  in  the  collections;  all  of  which  are  incorporated  in  the 
following  pages. 

Perhaps  a  few  words  concerning  "  types"  may  not  be  entirely  out  of 
place  right  here.  Dr.  Hagen  holds  that  every  specimen  named  by  an 
author  of  a  species  described  by  himself,  is  a  type.  Mr.  Morrison  was 
yet  more  liberal  and  marked  as  "  type"  a  number  of  specimens  of  spe- 
cies described  by  Mr.  Grote,  having  presumably  compared  them  with 
the  actual  type.  Mr.  Grote's  practice  seems  to  have  been  to  mark  all 
specimens  before  him  when  writing  hisoriginal  descrription,  as  "tyi)e," 
and  I  think  Mr.  Grote  is  right.  It  is  the  sum  of  the  characters  of  the 
specimens  before  the  describer  that  makes  the  species,  and  though 
neither  may  be  the  type  of  all  the  characters,  yet  all  are  types  of  the 
sjM'cies.  There  are  thus  instances  where  types  of  Mr.  Grote's  species 
are  in  two  or  more  collections.  This  is  more  especially  true  of  the  spe- 
cies described  in  his  earlier  and  most  recent  writings;  the  first,  pre- 
sumably, because  of  the  greater  dependence  for  material  ujwn  individ- 
ual collections;  the  second  alter  the  sale  of  his  collection,  wlu>n  lie  gave 
away  most,  if  not  all,  the  material  received.  In  the  case  of  my  own 
species  "types"  are  often  even  more  widely  distributed.  1  deem  it  a 
positive  advantage  to  have  types  in  several  collections,  but  I  would 
name  nothing  a  type  which  came  to  hand  after  the  original  description 
was  written. 

The  Bailey  collection  is  now  in  the  Imnds  of  Dr.  T.  V.  Bailey,  son 
of  Dr.  James  Baileiy,  by  whom  the  collection  was  iiuide.  It  has  more 
types  than  I  have  noted;  but  my  notes  on  the  collection  are  scant  and 
were  made  several  years  ago.  The  W.  W.  Hill  collection  is  in  the  care 
of  his  family,  and  is  for  sale.  It  contains  comparatively  few  unique 
tyj)es,  but  is  valuable  from  the  long  sciies  of  specimens  accurately 
labeled  with  the  exact  locality  and  usually  also  with  the  date  of  caj) 
tare — a  very  treasure  to  the  stmlent.  Dr.  i^intner's  collection  is  val- 
uable for  much  the  same  reason.  From  thesf  collections  Mr. 
Grote  obtained  muth  of  the  material  from  which  he  des«iribed,  and  the 
returned  specimen''  while  iiot  often  marked  -'type"  'Except  in  the  early 
days,  are  yet  typical  in  that  they  fornied  part  of  the  nmterial  on  which 
the  species  was  based. 

Dr.  Thaxter  has  collected  extensively  in  Massachusetts  and  Maine 


12 


PREFACE. 


and  to  a  less  extent  in  Florida.  These  collections  furnished  tyi)es  for 
many  species  described  by  Mr.  Grote,  and  of  which  Dr.  Thaxter  has 
duplicates.  His  material  is  thus  largely  typical  while  not  often  marked 
"  type."  The  collections  made  by  Mrs.  Fernald  at  Orono,  Me.,  are  in 
much  the  same  case.  She  furnished  the  material  lor  a  number  of  new 
species  to  Messrs.  Grote  and  Morrison,  but  has  few  "  tyi)e8." 

The  Graef  collection  contains  many  rarities  collected  years  ago,  when 
Mr.  Grote  first  began  his  studies,  and  contains  also  a  share  of  the  ma- 
terial collectetl  by  Morrison.  A  very  great  proportion  of  the  si>ecies 
were  determined  by  Mr.  Grote,  and  the  specimens  often  form  part  ol 
the  material  from  which  the  descriptions  were  made. 

The  Hulst  collection,  now  in  my  charge  at  Kutgers  College,  is  espec- 
ially ri(;h  in  Gatocala;,  typifying  Dr.  Hulst's  work  in  that  genus,  and  it 
ctmtains  types  also  in  several  other  genera. 

Prof.  F.  H.  Snow,  of  Lawrence,  Kans.,  has  types  of  a  few  species,  but 
furnished  the  material  for  a  considerable  number  of  descriptions.  His 
New  Mexican  material  was  sill  named  by  Mr.  Grote  and  is  typical  of 
three  papers  on  New  Mexican  moths. 

Prof.  George  H.  French,  of  Carbondale,  Ills.,  has  tyi)es  of  a  few 
species  described  by  himself  and  there  are  a  few  other  types  scattered 
in  various  collections. 

Mr.  David  Bruce  has  collected  extensively  in  Colorado  and  his  col- 
lections have  furnished  types  of  a  considerable  number  of  species,  most 
of  them  described  by  myself.  Most  of  these  types  are  not  in  Mr.  Brace's 
collection ;  but  I  have  so  labeled  some  of  the  material  returned  to  him, 
where  it  formed  part  of  the  original  lot  from  which  the  descriptions 
were  made.  The  determinations  of  my  own  species  in  that  collection 
are  nearly  all  made  by  comparison  with  the  original  types. 

Of  Institutions  containing  noctuid  types,  the  Agricultural  College  of 
Michigan  contains  the  Tepper  collection  already  mentioned.  A  few 
type  specimens  are  in  the  Cornell  (M)llection  at  Ithaca,  N.  Y.  Kutgers 
College  has  the  Hulst  collection  and  types  of  some  of  my  species.  The 
Hy.  Edwards  collection  is  in  the  American  Museum  of  Natural  History. 

In  the  collection  of  the  American  Entomological  Society  of  Philadel- 
phia are  a  number  of  types  of  the  species  described  by  Messrs.  Grote 
and  Robinson,  and  also  of  some  described  by  Mr.  Grote  alone.  In  the 
Canadian  Entomologist,  iv,  101),  Mr.  Grote  writes  concerning  the  work 
by  Mr.  Robinson  and  himself:  <<The  collection  on  which  th(5se  and  all 
our  other  joint  entomological  writings  were  based,  is  now  in  the  posses- 
sion of  the  American  Entomological  Society."  If  that  was  true  in  1872, 
it  certainly  is  not  so  now,  because  but  a  very  few  of  the  speiMes  are  at 
present  in  that  collection.  Of  these,  a  very  small  proportion  only  have 
a  written  label.  Some  have  a  little  printed  "type"  label;  but  nothing 
to  ih^iicat(^  of  what  it  is  the  type.  In  at  least  two  cases  I  found  these 
"type"  specimens  under  names  with  which  they  had  no  possible  rela- 
tionship.   Fortunately  the  excellent  figures  given  in  illustration  of  the 


PREFACE.

papers  referred  to,  make  it  possible  to  ascertain  the  names  of  which  the 
specimens  are  typical.  But  many  species  have  disapiicared,  leaving 
no  trace;  in  whose  liands  they  are  at  present  I  liave  been  unable  to 
ascertain.  Mr.  Grote,  in  tlie  third  and  fourth  volnmes  of  the  Transac- 
tions of  the  American  Entomological  Society,  published  a  number  oi 
descriptions  referring  to  the  types  as  in  this  same  collection.  Most  ol 
these  also  have  disappeared  except  in  the  Deltoids  where  nearly  all  are 
present,  properly  labeled.  Here,  however,  museum  pests  have  been 
at  work  and  some  of  the  specimens  are  in  a  very  precarious  condition. 
I  have  compared  many  s])ecimens  to  get  a  duplicate  series  as  nearly  as 
possible  resembling  the  originals.  This  series  wiii  be  deposited  in  the 
United  States  National  Museum,  when  completed.  But  Mr.  Grote's 
statement,  above  cited,  was  too  broad.  I  think  he  must  have  intended 
to  refer  to  the  Noctuids  only,  for,  certainly,  many  of  the  types  in  other 
families  are  in  the  American  Museum  of  Natural  History,  New  York 
city. 

In  the  museum  of  the  Boston  Society  of  Natural  History  is  the  Har- 
ris ooUection,  containing  a  considerable  number  of  specimens  labeled 
by  Harris  himself.  There  are  also  a  few  of  Mr.  Morrison's  types  in  the 
collection. 

At  Cambridge,  in  the  Museum  of  Comparative  Zoiilogy,  are  most  of 
the  tyi)es  of  Dr.  Packard's  species  described  from  Labratlor.  These 
were  originally  in  the  Museum  of  the  Peabody  Academy,  at  Salem, 
where  I  first  saw  them,  and  they  wore  then  in  a  sadly  fragmentary 
condition,  and  (m  the  high  road  to  complete  doHtruction.  Their  trans- 
fer to  Cambridge  was  a  decidedly  wise  move,  ajid  when  I  last  saw  them 
there  they  looked  much  better  and  bid  fair  to  last  for  some  time  to 
come.  A  carefully  compared  set  of  spt'ciniens  is  a  desideratum.  For 
his  work  on  the  North  Americaii  Lcpidoptera,  Zeller  derived  a  consid- 
able  portion  of  his  material  from  this  collection,  and  most  of  his  noctuid 
types  are  here.  A  few,  Grote  and  Morrison  types  are  also  deposited 
here. 

The  collections  in  the  U.  S.  National  Museuni  are  very  rich  in 
noctuidce,  but  have  compiirativoly  few  types  of  the  older  authors.  A 
small  tiumber  of  the  Walker  types  weie  donated  U}  the  museum  by 
Dr.  C.  J.  S.  Bethune,  at  my  request,  in  1891.  All  of  Dr.  Uiley's  species 
are  represented  in  the  collection,  forming  psn  t  of  liis  gift  to  the  museum, 
and  in  that  collection  were  also  a  few  Morrison  types.  Morrison's  types, 
it  will  be  noted,  are  everywhere.  The  collection  originally  formed  by 
myself  was  purchased  by  the  nniseum,  and  contiiined  types  of  a  fe.v 
species  described  by  myself,  and  of  a  number  of  species  (les(Tibed  and 
given  me  by  Mr.  Grote  after  the  sale  of  his  collection  to  the  British 
Museum.  In  the  Meske  collection,  now  also  in  the  mnsenm,  there  are 
a  few  types  by  Grote,  Harvey  ami  Lintner,  while  it  also  contains  nearly 
the  same  series  of  species  to  be  found  in  the  other  Albany  collections 
previously  mentioned.  The  Bclfrage  mat^   .al  purcliasetl  for  the  nuiseum

contains  no  types,  but  it  contains  a  duplicate  series  of  many  of  the 
Texan  species  descTibed  by  Messrs.  Grote  and  Harvey,  often  under  the 
exiict  label  in  number  and  color  mentioned  in  the  characterization  of 
the  type. 

Of  the  species  more  recently  described  by  myself,  the  musenm  con- 
tains a  large  proportion  of  the  types.  It  has  been  my  effort  to  pla«,'e, 
so  far  as  I  could  do  so,  the  types  of  all  my  species  in  this  museum,  and 
to  make  it,  for  the  future  American  students,  as  nearly  typical  and 
complete  as  possible.  My  various  contributions  toward  a  monograph 
of  tlie  noctuida;  are  based  on  this  collection,  and  the  collection  is  ar- 
ranged and  named  in  accord  with  my  published  work,  which  it  thus 
typifies.  In  the  American  noctuidic  this  collection  is,  in  the  quality  of 
material,  the  length  of  series,  the  localities  represented,  and  range  ot 
variation  shown,  by  far  the  best  in  the  country  or  even  in  the  world, 
for  the  British  Museum  series  is  very  much  poorer  in  specimens,  though 
incomi)arably  richer  in  types. 

With  the  above  explanation,  the  references  to  the  location  of  types 
made  in  the  following  pages  will  be  easily  understood. 

As  already  indicated,  my  systematic  work  necessitated  the  forma- 
tion of  a  card  catalogue.  Asa  starting  point  I  adopted  Mr.  Grote's 
bibliographical  list  of  1874,  and  transferred  it  to  cards,  adding  subse- 
quent references  from  time  to  time  so  as  to  keep  it  up  to  date.  Nat- 
urally enough  I  followed  Mr.  Grote's  plan  at  first  and  noted  neither 
the  date  of  the  publication  nor  the  dates  of  flight,  even  when  given. 
Localities  were  indicated  only  in  the  most  gemnal  terms.  I  soon  found 
that  I  could  not  rely  on  the  accuracy  of  Mr.  Grote's  references  in  all 
cases,  and  that  there  was  no  i)retence  of  completeness  in  the  biblio- 
graphy. Occasionally  only  tiie  name  of  the  publfeation  Jind  page  were 
given  and  neither  volume  nor  year.  1  have  therefore,  in  almost  every 
case  verified  the  references  given,  and  where  I  have  copied  bibliography 
and  synonymy  without  verification  I  have  generally  stated  that  fact. 
In  spite  of  all  care  I  can  not  hope  to  have  escaped  errors.  Every  ref- 
erence has  been  transcribed  from  original  note  to  card  and  from  card 
to  numuscript,  and  fliuiUy  transferred  to  type.  This  leaves  a  margin 
for  error,  and  although  I  have  in  the  great  nnijority  of  cases  verified 
the  reference  to  original  description  from  the  manuscript,  errors  may 
have  crept  in  and  may  have  been  overlooked. 

The  omission  of  dates  of  publication  in  my  original  cards  made  it  nec- 
essary to  go  over  every  reference  to  make  the  addititiou  and  here  I 
found  Dr.  Hagen's  "Bibliotheca"  invaluable.  Yet  the  dates  given  of 
some  of  the  older  works  issued  in  parts  can  bo  considered  as  approxi- 
mate merely.  In  most  cases  this  is  of  little  pratitical  importance,  and 
where  it  is,  I  have  gotten  as  close  to  the  truth  as  I  could.  Some  of 
these  works  bear  the  date  of  the  preface  or  title  page  while  the  body 
of  the  work  may  not  have  api)eared  for  some  years  afterward.  Ililb- 
ner's  Yerzeichniss  is  dated  1810  and  contains  references  to  the  noo>

tuulie  in  the  second  hundred  of  the  Ziitiji-ge  which,  according  to  Mr. 
Grote  in  Can.  Bnt.,  xiii,  02,  was  published  in  1823.  Now,  either  the 
references  were  published  from  Ave  to  seven  years  before  the  descrip- 
tions and  plates  appeared  or  the  Verzeichniss  was  not  published  until 
long  after  its  date.  In  view  of  this  fact  and  the  fact  that  the  entire 
first  hundred  of  the  Zutrapge  is  referred  to,  no  earlier  date  than  1820 
can  be  reasonably  assumed  for  Iliibner's  list.  This  makes  it  long  sub- 
sequent to  Ochsenheimer's  Systema  Glossatornm,  also  dated  in  1810 
and,  I  believe,  actually  published  about  that  time.  Yet  I  have  cited 
181(>  as  the  date  of  the  Verzeichniss  in  most  cases  where  it  confli<ts 
with  no  other  reference.  Usually  the  dates  given  by  Dr.  Hageii  have 
been  accepted  as  controlling. 

Ill  citing  references  from  society  publications  I  have  used  the  date 
given  on  the  printed  forms,  even  where  1  was  well  assured  that  the  date 
was  later,  wherever  this  method  would  not  involve  the  question  of  pri- 
ority. The  noctuidre  have  been  singularly  fortunate  in  ottering  a  very 
few  cases  only  in  which  there  could  be  any  serious  doubt  as  to  which 
name  had  priority.  In  1874  and  187;">,  when  Messrs.  Grote,  Morrison, 
Harvey,  and  Strecker  were  publishing  at  about  the  same  time,  several 
species  were  twice  described,  with  narrow  nmrgins  between  the  dates 
of  publication;  but  these  margins  were  at  on<re  fixetl  and  no  confusion 
resulted.  In  a  number  of  cases  Mr.  Grote  has  dui»licated  descriptions 
in  separate  journals,  eacli  description  purpcutiiig  to  be  that  of  a  "n.  sp." 
Thus,  descriptions  in  the  Bull.  Bkln.  Knt.  So**,  are  duplicated  in  the 
Canadian  Entomologist,  while  descriptions  in  that  journal  are  (lui»!i- 
cated  in  the  Bull.  Butt".  Soc.  Nat.  Sci.  As  this  duplication  occurred 
mainly  at  about  the  <late  Mr.  Morrison  was  describing,  I  assume  that 
it  was  intended  to  secure  two  chances  of  priority. 

In  citing  localities  to  show  geo};iaphical  distribution,  a  variety  of 
difficulties  arise.  Few  species  are  so  evenly  distributed  as  to  occur 
in  all  parts  of  any  large  region,  and  yet,  in  giving  the  geographical 
range  in  a  work  of  this  cha*  'er  it  is  practically  impossible  to  give 
details  even  when  ascertainable.  Many  of  our  States  afford  varieties 
of  surface,  of  climate  and  of  geological  formation  that  support  quite 
different  sets  of  moths.  To  cite  "New  York,"  for  instance,  does  not 
indicate  that  the  species  occurs  all  over  that  State.  Many  species  are 
found  on  Long  Island  that  are  not  found  at  Albany,  while  the  Albany 
region  affords  many  peculiar  forms  not  thus  far  duplicated  elsewhere 
in  the  Strtte.  The  Catskill  and  Adirondack  regions  each  have  forms 
peculiar  to  themselves,  Mhile  along  the  northern  and  western  bound- 
aries of  the  State  still  ether  forms  occur.  Most  of  the  other  States  are 
in  much  the  same  case,  and  in  some  the  nnitter  is  more  serious.  Texas 
has  two  quite  distinct  faunal  regicms,  <Hie  of  them  giving  the  normal 
Atlantic  forms,  the  other  extending  into  New  Mexico  and  Arizona,  and 
giving  quite  a  distinctive  set  of  speeies.  Colorado  has  a  surprisingly 
varied  fauna,  as  will  appear  in  the  following  pages.    Yet  a  citation  by

States  or  by  groups  of  States  lias  been  the  only  one  feasible.  A  species 
may  occur  in  New  York,  Pennsylvania,  Massachusetts,  Vermont  and 
Maine,  and  only  in  one  or  two  localities  in  each ;  yet  the  entire  geo- 
graphical group  will  be  cited.  I  have  endeavored,  however,  to  specify 
as  much  as  possible  in  a  work  of  this  kind.  By  such  expressions  as 
<<  Canada  to  Texas  to  Colorado,"  it  is  intended  to  indicate  that  between 
these  extremes  the  species  has  been  recorded  from  most  of  the  States. 
The  term  "Canada,"  as  here  used,  includes  the  Provinces  of  Ontario 
and  Quebec,  other  British  possessions  being  cited  as  pubhshed  or 
labeled.  Finally,  I  have  reason  to  believe  that  the  "East  Florida"  of 
the  British  Museum  list  may  mean  Te&as  or  Georgia  as  often  as  what 
is  now  known  as  Florida. 

The  sources  for  the  localities  given  are  the  original  descriptions,  lists 
published  by  Lintner,  Thaxter,  Snow,  Van  Duzee,  Hill,  Mrs.  Fernald, 
and  others,  in  the  entomological  journals  and  elsewhere,  a  very  t!om- 
plete  list  of  species  taken  in  Colorado  by  Mr.  Bruce,  the  collections  at 
Rutgers  College,  and  in  the  National  Museum,  and  the  duplicate  lists 
of  species  named  by  me  for  correspondents  for  several  years  past.  The 
dates  given  are  from  the  same  sources,  the  National  Museum  collection 
being  especially  well  labeled  in  the  Californian  and  Texan  series. 

My  studies  in  the  noctuids  have  been  almost  exclusively  systematic, 
and  the  references  nmde  by  me  on  the  cards  were  such  as  would  facili- 
tate my  work  in  that  direction.  I  have  included  all  references  to  de- 
scriptions of  early  stages,  hal)its,  etc.,  found  in  the  entomological  and 
scientific  journals  or  publications,  but  have  not  searched  economic  lit- 
erature. This  latter  has  grown  to  such  enormous  proportions  in  recent 
years  that  it  merits  a  separate  index,  and  tiiere  is  so  much  repetition, 
so  much  <;ompilation,  and  so  much  duplication  that  to  include  the  mat- 
ter here  would  have  exteiuled  the  work  unnecessarily.  Mr.  Henry  Ed- 
wards in  his  catalogue  of  the  described  early  stages  of  Lepidoptera, 
Bulletin  No.  35  of  the  National  Museum,  has  covered  this  ground  fairly 
well,  and  I  have  not  recognized  the  necessity  of  duplicating  all  his 
references. 

The  only  exceptions  made  are  that  I  have  cited  Dr.  Riley's  Missouri 
reports,  some  of  Dr.  Lintner's  reports,  and  the  volumes  of  the  Entomo- 
logical Commission ;  the  first  ami  se(!ond  of  these  because  they  contain 
descriptions  of  new  species,  and  in  the  case  of  Dr.  Riley's  reports,  ex- 
cellent and  characteristic  figures:  tlie  latter  because  the  treatment  is 
scientificand  monographic,  containing  exhaustive  treatises  on  all  phases 
of  structure,  habit,  and  development. 

Bulletin  35  of  the  U.  S.  National  Museum  should  be,  therefore, bound 
with  the  present  work  to  complement  and  com])lete  it. 

Our  literature  contains  a  large  number  of  notes  on  species,  giving  no 
new  or  useful  information  and  of  men'ly  locjil  interest.  Iteferences  to 
these  have  been  omitted.  The  object  has  been  to  give  :  (I)  The  place 
of  origimil  description;  (2)  complete  redescriptions;  (3;  additions  to

the  knowledge  conncniing  the  species;  (4)  the  changes  made  in  generic 
location.  Under  this  latter  head  I  have  not  included  references  to  sacli 
lists  as  adopt  a  dift'erent  generic  term  for  an  entire  genus,  e.  g.,  Mr. 
Grote  uses  Apatela  and  UeliophUa  for  Acronycta  and  Leucania)  but  I 
have  not  cited  his  lists  for  this  change  in  term  since  it  does  not  carry 
with  it  any  suggestion  of  difference  in  structure.  Where  a  species  ap- 
pears in  the  catalogue  in  a  genus  different  from  the  one  last  cited,  the 
reference  is  usually  to  be  credited  as  original  here  or  in  my  list  of  the 
Lepidoptera  of  boreal  America,  published  in  1891. 

In  Synonyms  the  same  rules  are  observed,  because  the  literature  of 
the  synonym  is  often  better  or  more  accessible  than  that  of  the  original 
species,  and  the  final  reference  given  is  that  which  places  the  name  as 
a  synonym.  Usually  I  have  given  a  reference  only  to  the  first  positive 
statement  of  the  synonymy ;  but  where  more  than  one  observer  have 
independently  so  referred  a  name,  I  have  as  a  rule  cited  them  all. 
Where  no  reference  to  the  synonymy  appears  in  the  bibliography  it 
is  original  here. 

Finally,  while  I  have  given  the  reference  to  the  original  descriptions 
of  the  genera,  I  have  not  given  generic  synonyms  nor  references  to  re- 
descriptions  of  a  genus.  The  generic  synonymy  appears  suflftciontly  in 
the  bibliographj'  of  the  species,  while  redescriptions  will  be  readily  found 
under  the  same  references.  I  have  made  no  attempt  to  specify  the  "  types" 
of  genera,  for  opinion  differs  in  many  cases  in  which  I  have  made  no 
original  study  of  the  matter,  and  I  do  not  care  to  adopt  or  reject  con- 
clusions Avithout  some  verification.  Usually  Mr.  rote  has  been  fol- 
lowed except  in  his  use  of  certain  Hiibnerian  genera,  I  do  not  think 
that  under  the  utmost  latitude  the  Tentamen  should  be  considered  au- 
thority for  a  generic  term,  while  the  Verzeichniss  names  so  far  as  ap- 
plicable must  bo  used  eventually.  It  follows  ftom  this  that  in  some 
cases  older  generic  terms  may  have  to  be  substituted  for  those  now  in 
use;  but  I  think  such  cases  will  not  be  great  in  number. 

With  this  somewhat  lengthy  explanation  of  the  origin  and  purpose 
of  the  catalogue  I  submit  it  to  the  consideration  of  lupidopterists  gen- 
erally. 

All  the  species  contained  in  the  National  Museum  collection  are  mar -ced 
with  sin  asterisk  (•).  I  hope  that  those  who  have  species  not  so  marked, 
in  duplicate,  will  send  specimens  to  complete  the  collection  for  the  ben- 
efit of  students  generally.  The  advantage  of  a  central,  complete  col- 
lection accessible  at  all  times,  constantly  cared  for,  the  property  for  all 
scientific  ends  of  students  generally,  can  not  be  overestimated.

Only  those  works  of  an  author  cited  in  the  catalogue  are  here  noted. 
Works  published  in  theProct^edings  or  Transactions  of  an  Institute  or 
Society  are  cited  from  the  society's  publication  in  most  instances,  and 
only  rarely  by  the  title  of  the  memoir.  Under  the  name  of  eaoh  author 
is  given  a  list  of  his  books  here  cited.  Names  which  have  no  such  lists 
appended,  represent  authors  that  have  published  on  American  Noctuidee 
in  periodical,  society,  or  institute  literature  only.  Periodical,  society, 
and  institute  literature  is  indexed  by  the  first  word  of  the  usual  abbre- 
viation. Separate  works  are  found  only  under  the  name  of  the  author 
and  are  not  independently  indexed  by  their  usual  abbreviation. 

So  far  as  it  goes,  Uagen's  Bibliotheca  Entomoloyica  has  furnished 
dates  and  titles;  more  recent  works  are  in  most  cases  given  from  my 
own  notes.  The  dates  given  are  of  the  beginning  and  end  of  works 
issued  in  parts,  or  those  given  on  the  title  page  of  others.  Periodical 
literature  is  not  dated  here,  the  date  ot  the  volume  or  part  cited  being 
always  given  in  the  catalogue.

I  refer  this  species  to  Thyatira  beoause  I  have  not  been  able  to  find 
any  essential  differences  between  it  and  batb.  The  tyi)e  of  maculation 
is  quite  distinct,  but  does  not  sufflcc  for  generic  8ei)aration.  In  the 
Edwards  collection  there  is  an  Alaskan  specimen,  and  in  the  Britiali 
Museum  one  from  Hudson  Hay  Territory,  wliit'h  indicate  a  new  species. 
They  are  much  darker  in  color,  aiul  in  the  course  of  the  t.  a.  Hue  agree 
with  dcrasa  rather  than  with «t;//y><a.

The  tyi)e  is  in  Mr.  Neumcegen's  collection.  In  pioposinjjc  the  genus 
Euthyatirti  for  the  two  species  here  associate  ,  I  wish  to  express  my  con- 
viction that  the  American  species  heretofore  referred  to  Thyatira  are 
not  at  all  congeneric  with  batis,  the  type  of  the  genus.  Tliere  is  a  cer- 
tain similarity  in  the  type  of  maculatiou,  but  none  in  wing  form  or  in 
other  details.

I  follow  Mr.  Grote  iu  the  use  of  this  Hiibneriau  term,  because  Cyma- 
t&phora  has  been  used  iu  the  Geouietridse,  and  the  term  hiis  become 
confusing.  It  is  quite  ceruaiu  that  our  species  are  not  congeneric;  but 
all  are  very  rare,  and  I  have  never  had  any  material  for  study.

The  types  of  all  the  species  in  this  genus,  with  the  exception  of  late- 
bricola,  Grt.,  are  in  the  British  Museum.  Latebricola  type,  is  in  the 
collection  of  the  American  Entomological  Society,  and  is,  as  Mr.  Grote 
suggests,  the  same  as  dormitans.  On  the  other  hand,  australis  is  not, 
as  I  had  supposed  from  specimens  named  by  Mr.  Grote,  the  same  na 
ophthalmica,  but  probably  a  good  species.  Mr.  Grote  has  mixed  vari- 
etal forms  of  Guen^e's  species  with  his  own.  As  the  matter  stands  now, 
after  studying  all  the  types,  the  species  divide  as  follows: 

Shoulders  and  base  of  primaries  concolorous dokmitans. 

Shoulders  and  base  of  primaries  white. 

Median  lines  complete,  even,  white doublbdayi.

Mr.  Morrison's  type  is  in  th«^  Tepper  collection.  Mr.  GroteV  types  I 
have  not  seen.  They  may  be  in  the  British  Museum;  but  if  so  I  over- 
looked them.  The  spei-ies  has  not  been  critically  stu«lied,  and  the  true 
relation  of  the  forms  is  yet  in  doubt.  The  American  form  may  yet 
prove  distinct,  though  a  very  close  ally  to  the  Kuropean  insect.  I  am 
not  nearly  so  ready  to  believe  in  the  identity  of  European  and  Ameri- 
can species  as  I  once  was.

In  this  genus  and  in  the  following,  from  which  the  present  has  been 
separated,  I  have  few  original  notes.  Dr.  Riley  has  been  accumulating 
material  for  several  years  past  for  a  critical  and  revisional  monograph 
of  the  species,  and  what  little  I  have  done  is  in  his  hands.  Dr.  Riley 
has  made  comparisons  in  the  European  museums,  and  I  did  not,  there- 
fore, look  over  the  species  except  as  they  canto  accidentally  under  my 
notice.  So,  too,  I  have  given  the  location  of  the  types  only  where  they 
are  in  American  collections  of  which  I  had  notes,  or  where  I  accident- 
ally noted  the  fact.  The  bibliography,  however,  is  as  nearly  complete 
as  iu  most  other  genera.

Mr.  Grote  never  positively  identified  this  species.  Walker's  spinigera 
is  cited  to  harveyana,  while  Mr.  Grote  says  most  of  the  specimens  of 
HpinUjera  in  American  collections  are  paUidivoma.  Whether  the  larva? 
mentioned  by  Thaxter  and  Dimmock  arc!  of  this  species,  or  of  palUdi-

Types  of  each  of  these  names  are  in  the  British  Museum.  Mr.  Grote's 
remarks  on  his  orbis  thoroughly  nusled  me,  and  I  referreil  the  name  to 
ciipidissima.  As  a  matter  of  fact,  the  type  of  orbis  is  simply  variata 
without  the  bluish  scales,  and  one  of  the  specimens  labeled  by  Mr.

Mr.  Grote  Lad  uamed  cupidissima  iu  Mr.  Neunioegeu's  collectiou,  a 
series  of  specimens  wbich  I  assumed  were  correctly  determined.  In- 
terpreting Mr.  Grote's  descriptions  by  these  specimens,  I  made  orhis 
and  Icetula  synonyms  of  cupidissima  in  the  monograph.  The  true  eupi- 
dissima  is  very  different  from  this  species,  and  neither  orhis  nor  Icctula 
agree  at  all  with  it.  A  new  name  for  what  I  have  erroneously  charac- 
terized as  Mr.  Grote's  species  is  therefore  necessary,  and  I  propose 
trigona,  as  above.  The  types  of  this  species  are  the  specimens  named 
cupidissima  by  me  in  the  collections  U.  S.  National  Museum.

The  male  typo  is  in  the  British  Museum,  and  had  been  heretofore  un- 
known to  me.  It  is  broad-winged,  somewhat  like  Orthodes,  and  quite 
unlike  any  other  of  the  species  of  this  genus.  It  has  no  very  close 
allies,  and  is  placed  in  the  series  here  because  the  orbicular,  so  far  us  it 
is  traceable,  is  complete.

appears  to  be  Guen^e's  handwriting,  and  this  agrees  very  well  with  his 
description.  It  is  not  the  type.  Guenee  appears  to  have  known 
prasina  from  North  America,  but  a  large  bright-green  specimen  such  as 
is  sometimes  met  with  might  easily  have  misled  him  into  considering 
this  American  form  distinct.  In  the  Cambridge  Museum  I  have  seen 
a  specimen  of  prasina  labeled  herhaeea  by  Mr.  Grote;  it  is  unspread 
and  might  easily  serve  as  type  of  Guende's  description.  The  type  is 
in  collection  <<Marchand";  but  what  has  become  of  this  I  do  not  know.

is  also  elimata  Gn.  With  tliem  are  specimens  labeled  dilucida  by  Mr. 
Grote,  and  these  sire  exactly  like  GuenC'e's  species.  Mr.  Morrison 
labeled  a  number  of  specimens  as  "  type"  and  I  have  seen  several  of  them 
in  collections.  They  incliule  specimens  like  Guen^e's  type  and  also 
like  Mr.  Grote's  janualis,  Mr.  Morrison  pointed  out  some  of  the  char- 
acters differentiating  his  species  from  elimata;  but  these  are  not  essen- 
tial. As  the  forms  stand  in  the  British  Museum,  they  look  like  good 
species ;  elimata  rather  more  gray  with  the  markings  well  defined  and 
the  apices  of  primaries  distinct;  badicollis  much  like  it  in  wing  form 
and  markings,  but  still  paler  and  with  a  contrasting  pale  collar  ;j(mua{t8 
rounder  winged,  apices  m  ire  obtuse,  markings  almost  obsolete.  In  the 
large  series  in  the  U.  S.  Na;  'onal  Museum  the  diflfercnces  seem  to  vanish ; 
but  none  of  the  specimens  are  like  typical  badicollis,  which  I  never 
saw  previously.  Mr.  Thaxter  also  has  types  of  Mr.  Grote's  species. 
To  dift'erentiate  the  various  forms  I  have  giveti  varietal  rank  to  Mr. 
Grote's  names.    Dr.  Liutner  also  has  a  "type"  of  badicollis.

I  was  quite  surprised  to  lind  that  Mr.  Grote's  type  in  the  British 
Museum  was  my  species.  The  specimens  originally  labeled  by  me 
came  from  Dr.  Hulst's  collection.  Afterwards  I  found  in  the  Riley  col- 
lection in  the  National  Museum  a  specimen  labeled  by  Mr.  Morrison 
^^  Pseudorthisia  pectinata  type."  I  therefore  did  not  describe  the  spe- 
cies in  1887  with  the  other  species  named  by  me.  Subsequently  I  com- 
pjired  the  specimen  with  the  original  description  and  concluded  that  it 
c<mld  not  well  be  intended  to  apply  to  this  species  and  renamed  it. 
The  National  Museum  specimen  is  labeled  by  me  as  type,  and  a  "type" 
is  also  in  the  Tepper  collection. 

[A  number  of  Colorado  specimens  seen  recently  make  it  certain  that 
this  is  but  a  form  of  Uitoralis  Pack.  Pectinata  may  stand  for  the 
variety  with  distinct  median  lines.]

and  both  are  males.  The  specimens  I  had  theretofore  seen  were  all 
females,  and  my  guess  as  to  the  character  of  the  male  antenna  proved 
erroneous.  Removed  to  Setagrotis,  the  characters  pointed  out  by  me 
still  hold  to  separate  the  species.  From  the  two  forms  described  by 
mo  they  axe  entirely  distinct.

can  not  give  it  a  definite  place.

utterly  in  tne  dark  as  to  the  location  of  the  type.

marked  tenuescens  Morr.,  tyi^e.  These  can  not  well  have  served  as  the

In  the  British  Museum  is  a  specimen  marked  docilis  Grt.  type, 
which  is  without  any  doubt  a  form  of  occulta.  It  is  from  Snow,  Colo- 
rado, No.  894,  and  is  entirely  difl'erent  from  the  specimen  marked 
docilis  in  the  Edwards  collection.  From  the  description  and  Mr.  Grote's 
remarks  on  the  species,  I  am  persuaded  that  a  form  of  perexcellens  was 
really  vhat  Mr.  Grote  intended  to  describe  and  that  Mr.  Edwards's 
specimen  represents  the  form  to  which  the  name  should  have  been 
attached.  The  small  specimen  of  occulta,  similar  in  color,  probably 
escaped  notice  among  the  other  specimens  and  received  the  type  label. 
It  makes  no  practical  difterenco  which  specimen  is  accepted  as  type, 
since  in  either  case  the  name  goes  into  the  synonymy.

sinks.  Pbrconjina  is  undoubtedly  the  species  Mr.  (Irote  has  written 
of  as  conflua;  b  it  the  Si>^cimeu  in  (he  British  Museum,  labeled  conflua 
by  Mr.  Grote,  is  rnbifera.  The  type  of  CHuriolis,  also  in  the  Museum, 
is  without  doubt  the  same  species,  differing  only  in  that  the  orbicular 
is  imperfectly  cU)sed  superiorly,  and  tlie  cell  between  the  ordinary

Habitat. — Georgia. 

The  female  type  in  the  British  Museum  represents  a  species  I  had 
not  before  seen.  It  is  imperfect,  lacking  the  abdomen ;  but  the  front  is 
smooth ;  the  foretibia;  are  spinose  and  the  palpi  are  as  in  clandestina. 
It  looks  like  a  red  alternata  with  all  the  maculatiou  washed  out,  leav- 
ing only  the  slightly  paler  median  lines.  Mr.  Butler  has  \i\acedphyl- 
lophora,  alternata,  varix,  and  variata  under  this  name  as  representing 
one  species,  and  in  the  Entomologist,  xxiv,  238,  says:  "Walker's  type 
is  slightly  faded  and  without  abdomen,  but  is  certainly  typical  A.  phyl- 
lophora,  which  it  will  probably  supersede."  This  was  published  while 
I  was  in  England,  but  I  did  not  see  it  until  after  my  return,  else  I  would 
have  made  more  detailed  comparisons.  The  specimen  did  not  even  sug- 
gest phyllophora  to  me,  and  it  can  not  be  that  species ;  first,  because  it 
has  none  of  its  characteristic  markings,  and  second,  because  it  is  from 
Georgia,  while  phyllophora  is  decidedly  a  Northern  insect,  and  has  never, 
in  my  experience,  been  taken  as  far  South  as  Washington,  D.  C,  where 
ttiere  have  been  good  collectors  at  work.  I  believe  the  specimen  to  be 
one  of  those  taken  by  Abbot,  and  a  species  which  has  not  been  since 
frmnd.  Among  the  unpublished  drawings  by  Abbot  in  the  British 
Museum  are  a  number  of  Noctuidixi  that  I  never  saw  and  that  are  cer- 
tainly undescribed.  Such  species  as  Yarina  ornata  Neum.,  described 
only  a  year  or  two  ago,  were  figured  and  the  habits  noted  by  Abbot, 
and  the  specimens  were  afterw.ard  named  by  Walker.  No  one  has  since 
collected  Lepidoptera  systematically  on  Abbot's  old  ground,  and  Avhen 
that  is  once  done,  I  have  no  doubt  that  suhporphyrea  Wlk.  will  be  re- 
discovered.

Habitat.— Texas  in  May. 

The  speeiineiiH  uained  immixta  in  the  National  Museum  agree  with 
the  type  in  the  Hritisli  Museum ;  those  named  immixta  in  the  Neumoe- 
geu  collection  are  balinitia.  The  species  probably  belongs  to  another 
genus.  The  preceding  species,  except  the  last,  are  closely  related,  but 
I  think  distinct.  Tlie  separation  of  the  Ispecies  in  the  Revision  is  in 
accord  with  the  types,  all  of  which  I  have  now  seen.  The  National 
Museum  series  is  correctly  arranged.

ground,  while  that  in  thei  Bailey  collection  has  a  more  sordid  ap-

which  Mr.  Graef  has  the  type.  T  have  recently  received  a  Colorado 
specimen  exactly  like  the  tyi)e  of  albalis,  and  now  consider  it  a.  good

Grote's  ftgure  in  the  illustriited  essay.  This  is  utterly  incorrect  in 
color,  and  not  at  all  a  fair  representation  of  the  species,  which  does  not 
differ  from  ceneipitinifi.  1  would  not  be  very  greatly  surprised  if  rflw- 
cottrcrcnsis  and  (vnei2)cnnis  should  prove  forms  of  one  very  variable 
species.

rower winged  with  almost  the  same  maculation.  Its  association  with 
tlie  species  of  this  genus  is  probably  correct;  but  I  have  had  no  oppor- 
tunity to  <x;iriine  a  male  critically.  I  have  a  spccnmen  compared  with

Mr.  Grote,  wliich  is  not  the  s.ame  species.  The  insect  is  from  Tucson, 
Ariz.,  and  is  from  Mr.  Neumoegeu's  collection.  In  that  colle(5tion 
are  other  spei'imens  also  labeled  tcxana  and  from  them  I  drew  the 
character  for  tlie  species,  in  my  revision.  I  liad  not  been  able  at  that 
time  to  find  the  type  in  the  Philadelphia  collection;  but  a  recent 
systematic  search  discovered  the  specimens  under  a  misleading  label. 
Indeed,  but  for  the  fact  that  one  of  the  specimens  was  obviously  the 
original  of  the  figure  above  cited,  tliej'  could  not  have  been  identified 
with  certainty  at  all.  As  it  is,  the  t\q)e  proves  a  Porosaffrotis  instead 
of  a  Carmwles,  aud  the  insect  I  des<;ribed  in  my  revision  lacks  a  name. 
The  S  antenna'  are  pectinated,  secondaries  wJiite  in  the  male,  only  a 
little  soiled  in  tlie  female.  The  claviform  is  obvious.  It  is  between 
rileyi  and  or^hojfoiiia,  diflering  obviously  from  either.  The  types  have 
no  locality  labels,  and  1  have  no  information  as  to  who  collected  them. 
It  is  ])ossible  that  it  may  prove  nu)re  nearly  related  to  my  obcsula  than 
I  now  belies  e,  when  abundant  material  is  at  hand.

This  species  is  placed  under  Agrotis  furcifera  Wlk.,  in  the  British 

Museum  collections,  in  my  opinion  erroneously.     Mr.  Walker  has  also 

described  a  specimen  as  Agrotis  transversa,  which  is  almost  certainly 

the  same  as  Morrison's  species.     There  are,  however,  several  forms 

from  Central  or  South  America  that  come  very  close,  and  as  careful 

and  critical  study  would  be  required  to  decide  specific  limitations,  for 

which  I  had  not  the  time,  I  prefer  leaving  the  name  as  it  is,  simply 

calling  attention  to  the  probabilities,  and  to  the  necessity  for  further 

study.

Butler  refers  it  to  Cliera  birivia,  Hbn.,  and  I  can  not  myself  flud  any 
obvious  differences  between  them.  Birivia  is  an  alpine  species,  and  I 
am  not  ready  to  believe,  without  the  most  critical  comparison,  that  the 
two  are  identii-al,  though  superficially  they  seem  alike.  I  have  there- 
fore retained  IVIr.  (irote's  name  for  the  present.  If  Ohera  has  as  type

The  types,  male  and  female,  are  in  the  Berlin  Museum,  and  belong 
nearest  to  plenrUica  in  appearance.  The  wings  are  narrow,  elongate  in 
the  specimen,  and  of  a  ratlier  pale  gray.  I  have  seen  something  very 
like  this  from  Colorado;  but  it  is  probably  a  ditforent  species.

in  my  revision,  and  placed  it  next  to  »caiuUm.  It  looks  like  a  mensoria 
with  the  lines  almost  obliterate  and  with  white  secondaries.  The  or- 
bicular is  oval,  black-ringed;  the  reiiiform  iiiconiplcte.  The  median

Walker's  type  is  rather  a  small  specimen;  but  is  exactly  like  a 
specimen  from  the  Grote  collection,  marked  "type."  Both  are  in  the

The  type,  or  a  specimen  so  marked,  is  in  the  British  Museum  and 
agrees  fully  with  specimens  in  American  collections.  In  Staudinger's 
collection,  at  Dresden,  I  saw  his  types  of  ktbradoriensis,  and  they  are 
undoubtedly  the  same  as  opipnra.  They  are  as  unqueMtioiiably  dis

comparing  with  it.

there  is  no  ditlereuce.  Decolor  Morr.,  of  which  I  have  also  seen  the

^Ir.  Grote  has  curiously  mistaken  Walker's  species  in  referring  it  to 
Haihna  tiuffimca  Morr.  It  does  bear  a  casual  resemblance  to  Mr.  Mor- 
rison's species;  but  the  generic  characters  should  have  ])revented  the 
association.  However,  Mr.  Morrison  does  furnish  an  exact  synonym, 
for  illata  is  almost  precisely  like  cinereomaculata,  the  type  of  which  I 
have  seen.  The  types  of  Mr.  Grote's  species  are  in  the  British  Museum. 
Guen^'e's  tyj)e  is  in  the  Oberthiir  collection  at  Rennes. 

Mr.  Butler  has  placed  a  somewhat  faintly  marked  specimen,  labeled 
turris  by  Mr.  Grote,  under  saucia,  and  has  published  them  as  identical.

Mr.  Grote's  type  in  the  British  Museum  is  exactly  like  my  types  in 
Mr.  Neuma'geu's  collecti<m  and  in  the  National  Museum.  I  am  not  at 
all  satisfied  that  there  is  not  a  good  species  such  as  I  luive  placed  in  the 
4-dentata  series  in  the  "Revision;"  but  Mr.  Grote's  type  is  unquestion- 
ably like  my  infelix  and  my  name  sinks.  The  species  is  au  excessively 
variable  one,  and  its  exact  limits  are  scarcely  dellued  as  yet. 

C.  islandica  Stgr. 

1857.  StffT.,  Stett.  Ent.  Zeit.,  1857,  232,  Agrotia. 

HABITAT.— Iceland. 

A  good  series  of  this  species  is  in  Staudinger's  collection,  and  both 
sexes  are  also  represented  in  the  museum  at  Berlin.  Like  the  surround- 
ing species,  this  is  extremely  variable,  resembling  both  ohcliscoides  and 
tessellata.  The  maculation  is  perhaps  more  like  the  latter;  but  tlie 
color  contrasts  are  sharper,  and  the  species  as  a  whole  is  brighter.  I 
can  not  understand  why  Staudinger  considered  his  lahradoriensia  a 
variety.  He  has  now  associated  it  in  the  collection  witli  dissona,  which 
it  resembles  much  more  nearly.  In  the  Grote  collection  in  the  British 
Museum  is  a  specimen  of  opipara  labeled  islandica  by  Mr.  Grote,  and 
also  a  California  species  labeled  in  the  same  way.  The  latter  is  really 
much  more  nearly  correct.  ^

Habitat.— Colorado. 

The  type  is  in  the  British  Museum.  It  is  not  so  near  teHsellata  as 
the  description  indicates;  but  it  is  very  near  co^ifa— so  near  indeed 
that  except  for  the  giound  color  there  is  little  ditt'erence.  It  will  prob- 
ably result  eventually  that  the  two  are  identical.  Since  my  return 
from  England,  Mr.  Bruce  has  sent  me  this  species  for  idontidcation.

I  have  not  been  able  to  And  this  species  in  the  British  Museum,  nor 
lias  Mr.  Butler  been  abh";  to  trace  it.  Messrs.  (Irote  and  Kobinson  saw 
it,  and  to  them  it  suggested  a  rubbed  tritici.  It  is  quite  likely  to  be 
either  tessellata  or  insulsa,  and  is  almost  certainly  a  species  known  to 
us  under  another  name. 

Here  ends  the  agrotid  series.  I  have  omitted  Agrotia  vetusta  Wlk., 
of  which  the  type  is  lost,  and  which  can  not  possibly  be  made  out  from 
the  description.  The  latter  will  be  found  in  my  "Revision"  if  anyone 
cares  to  try  to  identify  it.

Mr.  Grote  separates  this  from  Ammaconia,  I  can  not  say  at  present 
how  correctly,  since  I  have  no  European  material  for  comparison.  If 
the  characters  given  by  Mr.  Grote  hold,  the  genus  is  probably  good. 
They  will  not  hold  for  sculpt  His,  certainly,  for  I  redescribed  that  in  Agrotis,

Under  the  title  Bicopinw,  the  geJiera  Dicojtis,  Eutolype,  and  Copi- 
panolis  are  monographi<!alIy  treated  by  mo  ia  tlio  Proceedings  of  the 
U.  S.  Kational  Museum  for  1892,  Vol.  xv,  pp.  52-63.  All  the  species 
are  fully  described  there,  and  special  reference  to  this  paper  is  not 
made  except  where  necessary  to  authenticate  a  species  or  give  author- 
ity for  a  change.  The  generic  term  Pmphidia  Wlk.,  must,  under  the 
rules,  replace  Dicopis,  though  not  nearly  so  appropriate  and  certainly 
not  as  well  described.

Mr.  Butler.  It  will  require  an  agreement  in  sexual  structure  to  vnu-

The  types  of  the  (irote  and  Walker  species  are  in  the  British  Museum, 
and  are  the  same  as  my  denpemta.  Mr.  Butler's  reference  was  not  made 
until  October  1891,  after  my  revision  was  published.  I  had  had  the 
species  as  dimmocki,  and  had  so  named  it  in  the  National  Museum  and 
elsewhere.  Mr.  Grote's  description,  misled  me  and  induced  me  to  coi- 
rect  a  supposed  misidentification.  The  type  is  somewhat  rubbed;  but 
the  M  of  the  s.  t.  line  is  distinct,  not  wanting,  as  stated  by  Mr.  Grote.

Walker's  type  is  quite  a  respectable  specimen  and  should  not  have  been

Genus  HADENA  Scbrniik. 
1804.  Schrank,  Fauna  Boica,  ii,  2,  158. 

This  genus  will  probably  stand  subdivision  into  several  genera.  Two 
rather  well-marked  ^rouijs,  or  subgenera,  Xylophasia  and  Luperina, 
have  been  monographed  by  me  in  the  Proe.  U.  8.  Nat.  Mus.,  1890,  Vol. 
XIII,  pp.  407-447,  and  this  paper  is  not  cited  .save  when  necessary  to 
authenticate  a  change.  It  is  likely  that,  eventually,  both  of  these  sub- 
divisions  will  take  generic  rank,  and  the  term  IJadena  will  probably 
be  lestricted  to  one  of  them.  The  species  not  included  in  the  above 
revi.  *  .  are  for  the  present  plaeed  into  a  section  Hadena  merely  to 
separate  them.  As  uSual,  unless  otherwise  stated,  my  identification 
of  the  species  was  correct.

not  understand  how  both  Mr.  Orote  and  Mr.  Butler  could  see  any  re- 
semblance to  renerabiUn,  and  at  all  events  the  structural  characters 
should  have  i)revented  the  reference.  Mr.  Orote's  type  of  viralix  is  a 
badly  faded  and  discolored  s])ccimen,  also  without  doubt  the  same  as 
passer.  In  the  Cambridge  Museum  is  a  specimen  of  this  same  species 
marked  ^^Eadcna  destructor  Peck,"  in  Mr.  GroteHs  handwriting.

The  type  is  in  the  British  Museum.  I  And  I  had  entirely  mistaken  this 
species.  It  has  nothing  to  do  at  all  with  ducta  nor  with  the  (levi.Htatrix 
group,  in  fact,  but  belongs  with  the  vulttioHa  series.  It  is  a  very  close 
ally  in  maculation  to  remissa,  or  yet  nearer  to  the  European  {/emina, 
but  much  darker  and  with  all  the  pale  markings  wanting.  The  W- 
mark  in  the  s.  t.  line  is  distinct,  the  orbicular  oblique,  and  there  is  a 
broad  dash  between  the  ordinary  lines.  1  can  not  at  present  remem-

errou«^ou8  reference.

The  "tyi^e"  is  in  the  British  Museum;  but  I  am  not  sure  it  is  a  fair 
representative  of  the  species  Mr.  Grote  meant  to  desi'ribe.  It  seems  to 
be  really  a  form  of  caatanea,  as  Mr.  (xrote  suggested ;  but  the  specimen 
in  the  Tepper  collections,  also  marked  "type"  by  Mr.  Grote,  is  more 
nearly  allied  to  arctica,  and  is  a  good  species  as  shown  in  my  Revision. 
I  prefer  still  to  consider  the  form  described  by  me  as  the  species  in- 
tended by  Mr.  Grote,  the  more  so  as  I  could  not  by  comparison  of  the 
sexual  characters  of  the  British  Museum  "type"  decide  the  question 
positively.

The  types  of  both  names  are  in  the  British  Museum,  and  are  un- 
doubtedly the  same  species,  much  to  my  surprise.  The  cariosa  type  is 
a  dark  form  of  what  T  have  always  labeled  with  the  same  name;  but 
the  cariosa  of  the  Grote  collection  is  what  I  have  supposed  was  idonea, 
I  am  the  more  surprised  at  this  as  my  original  knowledge  of  Gueude's 
species  was  based  upoi  specimens  labeled  by  Mr.  Grote.  I  had  sup- 
posed idonea  to  be  the  western  representative  of  cariosa.  I  liiul  now 
that  there  are  jirobably  two  species  covering  the  same  range.  Mr. 
Grote  seems  to  have  realized  the  same  fact;  but  in  separating  them  he 
unfortunately  selected  as  type  exactly  the  same  form  described  by 
Guenee.  The  matter  needs  further  study.  I  had  no  males  of  'Hdonea^^ 
before  me  when  I  wrote,  and  therefore  can  not  be  sure  that  the  charac- 
ters given  by  mo  authorize  a  new  specific  name.

The  type  is  in  the  British  Museum.  It  is  a  somewhat  peculiar,  broad- 
winged  species,  with  prominent  tuftings,  and  has  a  vague  resemblance 
to  Euplexia.  The  hind  angles  of  the  primaries  are  retracted,  the  mar-

The  type  is  in  the  British  Museum.  It  is  a  small,  frail  species,  of 
the  size  of  modiola,  of  which  it  is  an  ally.  It  is  much  more  powdery 
and  more  ashen  gray.

The  types  of  the  Walker  and  Grote  names  are  in  the  British  Mu- 
seum, and  all  refer  to  the  same  species.  Mr,  Grote  first  compared  his 
specits  to  modlea  and  afterward  placed  it  next  to  fractilinea,  of  which 
1  placed  it  as  a  variety  in  my  list.  It  resembles  exactly  that  species 
with  all  the  red  taken  out.  I  have  separated  it  here  tentatively  and 
for  convenience  in  giving  the  synonymy.

may  prove  a  suffused  form  of  Mr.  Grote's  species,  but  it  will  need  more

I  can  not  quite  see  why  Mr.  Butler  refers  chalcedonia  to  Mamestra

be  congeneric.

Mr.  Morrison's  type  is  in  the  Tcppor  colleiition;  the  otliers  are  in  the 
British  Muse\im.  Mr.  Grote  sujjfgested  very  doubtfully  that  Guen<^e 
might  have  intended  to  describe  paginata;  but  figure  and  description 
pointed  to  IHatysentaatrloiliata  so  decidedly  that  I  feltjustitled  in  mak- 
ing the  refeieace  in  my  recent  list.  Mr.  Butler  suggested  that  paginata 
might  be  nnisignata  Wlk.,  if  the  former  was  correctly  named  in  the  Mu- 
seum. Harvey's  type  of  clara  is  a  dull,  dark  specimen,  but  unques- 
tionably the  same  species. 

Genus  PBRIOBA  Gn.

The  species  of  this  gentis  must  be  studied  in  connection  with  material 
ft'om  the  West  Indian  fauna  before  a  stable  nomenclature  can  be  at- 
tained. There  are  either  several  species  resembling  each  other  very 
closely  or  there  are  some  that  are  widely  distributed  and  somewhat 
variable.

species,  but  1  think  incorrectly  so.  Walker's  type  is  from  the  West 
Indies  and  differs  quite  evidently  from  our  specimens.  It  may  prove 
a  geographical  race  eventually,  but  the  material  is  not  yet  at  hand  to 
decide  this  positiv(?ly.  The  typ(^  of  mlvn  is  also  in  the  British  Museum, 
and  without  a  large  anumnt  of  matt^rial  certainly  looks  like  a  distim-t

which  the  white  is  almost  eliminated.  It  is  quite  probable  that  Walker 
has  still  further  described  the  species  from  South  America,  but  I  had 
no  time  to  study  the  matter,  and  the  relief  of  our  own  literature  from

it.  Mr.  Grote  states  positively  "I'or*^  tibial  with  a  short  daw,''  and  a« 
it  is  possible  that  the  type  specimen  has  become  defective,  1  can  not  at

The  type  is  in  the  Hritish  Museum.  It  is  a  robust,  xylinoid  form 
with  retracted  head  and  short  tongue,  and  hiistheiippcaranceof  Sooto- 
vhrostn.  The  markings  are  strigatc  as  in  the  CucuUiid  series  and  it  ia 
a  rather  near  ally  of  my  I'lerotini,  I  think.  It  seems  a  little  out  of  pla<!e 
hero;  but  until  tin*  material  vnu  t)e  critically  studied  it  had  better  be 
lelt  as  it  is.  Mr.  Uruce  has  rect^ntly  siMit  me  a  specimen  from  Colo-

sible that  Mr.  Grote's  description  was  intended  for  this  insect!  It  is 
uot  unlikely,  for  the  description  applies  fairly  well.  Mr.  Thaxter  has

Mr.  Grote's  type  is  in  the  British  Museum,  where  there  is  also  a 
specimen  named  juncicoUif  apparently  determined  by  Guen^e.  Gueni^e 
credits  the  species  to  Boisduval,  but  describes  it  himself  for  the  first 
time.  The  specimen  agrees  well  with  the  description  and  may,  I 
think,  be  fairly  considered  as  representative  ofjuncicola  which,  then, 
is  the  same  as  adjuta.

^fr.  Butler  was  perfectly  right  in  separating  our  North  American 
species.  Guentie  described  his  type  from  Brazil,  and  as  var.  A,  men- 
tions a  specimen  from  New  York.  This  is  like  what  is  in  all  American 
collections,  as  lujirma;  but  is  specifically  distinct  from  the  Brazilian 
Hpecimens.    Mr.  Butler's  type  is  in  the  British  Museum. 

If  Lederer's  description  of  his  genus  Dysehorittta  is  entitled  to  any 
weight  at  all,  it  is  impossible  that  (trennlata  can  be  referred  to  it.  Mr.

T.  vegeta  Morr. 

1875.  Morr.,  Proc.  Ac.  Nat.  Sci.,  xxvii,  432,  Twntocampa. 

Habitat. — Texas. 

The  type  is  in  the  Tepper  collection.  A  correctly  named  specimen 
is  also  in  the  British  Museum,  from  the  Orote  collection.  The  species 
is  not  a  Tieniocampa  and  prubably  belongs  to  the  fasciatse;  but  in  de- 
fault of  sufficient  study  to  place  it  certainly,  I  leave  it  here  for  the 
present.  Mr.  Slingerland  has  called  my  attention  to  the  fact  that  the 
Cissusa  npadix  of  Cramer,  heretofore  referred  as  a  synonym  of  Dras- 
Uria  erechtea,  is  a  distinct  sp(^cies.  On  examination  I  find  this  to  be 
the  fact,  and  it  is  more  than  likely  that  it  will  prove  the  same  as  the 
above  species.  Material  for  study  is  lacking,  therefore  the  reference 
can  not  be  positively  made.

Genus  STRETCHIA  Ily.  Kilw. 
1874.  Hy.  Eclw.,  Proc.  Cal.  Ac.  .Sei.,  v,  291. 

The  species  of  this  genus  are  treated  and  monographically  described 
under  Periyraplia  in  the  Proc.  U.  S.  Nat.  Mus.,  xii,  490.  The  Euro- 
p  can  species  of  Perigrapha  have  a  very  strong  resemblance  habitally 
to  the  sijecies  of  Stretchia,  which  has  induced  the  reference  of  our  spe- 
cies to  the  European  genus  despite  recognized  differences  in  structure. 
The  occurrence  of  a  structurally  typical  Perigrapha  in  our  own  fauna 
renders  a  return  to  another  generic  term  necessary,  and  Stretchia  some 
what  antedates  Acerra  (Grt.,  Bull.  Bufl^.  Soc.  Nat.  Sci.,  ii,  162).  This 
law  of  priority  plays  odd  tricks  occas  icmally  and  here  necessitates  the 
,  use  of  a  term  originally  referred  to  the  Uorabycidaj  and  irrecognizably 
described  as  against  another  correctly  placed  and  well  described.

The  type  specimen  in  the  British  Museum  represents  a  form  I  ha<l 
not  seen.  It  looks  like  a  small  brown  Pachnobia  with  fused  ordinary 
spots.  The  autennsei  are  pectinated,  front  apparently  smooth,  eyo8 
with  hairy  lashes,  tibite  unarmed. 

More  recently  I  have  had  this  species  for  determination  from  two 
sources  and  from  Western  localities  other  than  California.

may  not  be  congeneric  with  the  others  referred  here,  but  it  is  nearer 
right  than  with  Schinia.  Strictly,  rectifaseia  is  the  type  of  Trileuca, 
because  btixeo,  was  placed  in  Xanthodea  on  p.  153,  and  is  only  incidentally 
referred  to  Trileuoa  on  p.  1G6;  but  rectifaseia  is  unAtethmia,  and  the

not  see  proof  of  this  paper  in  the  Proc.  Am.  Phil.  Soc,  which  is  full  of 
typographical  and  other  errors,  else  he  would  have  seen  the  contradic-

Habitat. — Texas;  Florida. 

Both  tlie  above  species  are  South  Aineriean  and  are  scarcely  dis- 
tinct. I  have  received  them  for  identiflcatioii  on  several  occasions  and 
have  seen  them  in  collections  both  from  Texas  and  Florida.  I  have  no 
references  to  the  South  American  literature,  and  in  our  own  the  species 
have  not  been  heretofore  referred  to.

Specimens  from  the  Grote  collection,  apparently  not  types,  are  in 
the  British  Museum.  The  species  is  larger  than,  but  fully  congeneric 
with,  the  preceding.

Habitat. — California. 

It  is  almost  certain  that  under  this  name  Dr.  Behr  redescribes 
Calymnia  orina  Gn.,  and  its  variety  calami  Harv.  I  have  not  seen 
Oaliforni.'in  specimens,  however,  and  therefore  cite  the  species  as 
described.

placed  in  the  series;  but  until  the  necessary  critical  studies  are  nmde, 
(changes  are  tentative  at  best,  and  no  harm  is  done  in  leaving  it  here

Walker's  type  is  in  the  British  Museum,  and  so  is  the  type  of  angu- 
lata Grt.  Mr.  Butler  has  already  shown  that  Mr.  Grote  did  not  cor- 
rectly identify  Walker's  species,  and  redescribed  it  as  angulata.  In 
tlio  Museum  at  Berlin  are  specimens  from  Brazil  marked  cilisca  Gn., 
(Noct.  II,  179),  which  I  think  will  fall  in  with  this  species.  The  place 
assigned  the  genus  here  expresses  my  conviction  that  the  genus  is 
Ortliosiid  rather  than  Heliothid,  though  it  may  find  closer  allies  on 
future  study.

The  types  are  all  in  the  British  Museum  and  refer  to  one  species

be  the  status.  Bicolorago  iire(ie([cs  f err ugino ides  by  one  pa^e  and  was

Genus  QhJEA.  Hbn. 
1806.  HUbner,  Tontamen. 


221 


In  using  the  term  Glasa  and  crediting  it  to  Hiibner,  I  follow  Mr. 
Grote.  I  am  not  sure  that  our  species  of  6'tea  are  entirely  congeneric 
with  the  European  species  referred  to  Cerastis  or  Orrhodia  and  therefore 
prefer  to  use  a  distinctive  terra.  As  a  matter  of  course,  if  our  species 
do  prove  generically  distinct,  HUbner's  name  can  not  hold ;  but  until  a 
critical  study  settles  these  matters  it  will  be  safer  to  use  a  familiar  term. 
G.  anchoceloides  has  been  listed  under  Bhynchagrotis  and  will  be  found 
replacing  ctipida  Grt.  In  Can.  Ent.,  xii,  155,  Mr.  Grote  hds  listed  the 
species  and  divided  them  into  named  sections,  which  ho  afterwards 
used  as  genera.

tions in  markings  and  are  in  no  sense  generic.  I  have  hai'dled  a  \evy

lished  until  1818  at  least.  All  the  species  so  far  as  known  to  me  ap- 
petir  in  autumn,  hibernate,  and  reappear  in  early  spring.

representing  distinct  species,  pending  a  critical  study  of  the  genus.  It 
is  not  at  all  impossible  that  distinctive  characters  can  be  found  which

A  specimen  marked  type,  by  Mr.  Grote,  is  in  the  British  Museum. 
The  species  is  certainly  not  a  Xylina,  but  seems  to  be  congeneric  with 
Polia  acutimima.  As  the  latter  is  not  a  Polia,  nothing  would  be  gained

The  types  of  both  nanu'S  are  in  the  British  Museum.  I  failed  to  see 
the  type  of  simplex'  in  the  British  Museuiu,  as  it  was  not  ranged  among 
tlie  trne  noctuids  of  Mr.  Butler's  first  study.  Afterward,  Mr.  Butli'r 
very  kindly  sent  me  a  figure  of  the  species  which  made  it  certain  that  it 
was  no  Acronycta,  but  was  Uw  sketchy  to  make  out  itositiveiy.  Yi't 
later  Mr.  Butler  stumbled  on  Xylohtiyes  cruvialiH  Harv.,  and  recognized 
in  it  Walker's  Acronycta  simplex.

may  be  necessary.  Prof.  Comstock  iU'cepted  Mr.  Grote's  dictum  on

does  not  accept  Mr.  Grote's  identification  at  all, and  goes  at  sonu^  length 
into  the  reasons  for  declining  to  do  so.  llnfortuiiately,  with  a  large 
nuiterial  at  command,  he  yet  failed  to  liiid  a  species  to  which*  he  was

Some  four  or  Ave  years  ago  1  examined,  at  Dr.  Riley's  request,  a  very 
large  series  of  Anomids,  largely  South  American,  in  comparison  with 
a  number  of  type  specimens  from  the  I'aris  collections  and  with  the 
descriptions  of  all  the  species.  The  material  was  larger  than  any  I  have 
seen  elsewhere  or  since,  and  after  the  most  careful  comparisons  1  then 
«!oncluded  that  Hiibuer  c(mld  have  had  no  other  than  Say's  xylina 
before  him  as  original  to  his  figure.  There  are  (iertain  specific  char- 
acters that  are  seen  in  xiflina  and  iii  no  other  species,  and  these  char- 
acters are  given  by  Hiibner.  The  figure  is  bad  and  the  color  is  bad ; 
but  neither  are  worse  than  a  hundred  others  whi<!h  are  a(;cepted  un- 
4|uestioned,  and  the  specific  features  given  are  those  of  .rifUiia  and  of  no 
other  species.  The  very  great  majiu'ity  of  early  tigures  are  no  more 
accurate  than  is  Hilbner's  arffiUaeen^  but  where  there  are  not  closely 
related  species  the  matter  is  immaterial.  In  this  instance  1  believe  3Ir. 
(irote  most  clearly  in  the  right.

seen  before  and  is  one  of  the  most  beautiful  of  our  noctuids.  1  have 
since  seen  several  specimens,  all  taken  at  light,  and  all  of  them  in  such 
poor  condition  that  the  brilliancy  of  the  species  could  not  be  appre-

Genus  PLUSIA  Ochs. 
1816.  Oclis.,  Schuiett.  Eur.,  iv,  89.  ' 

Mr.  Grote  in  his  lists  writes  Plusia  Fabricius,  and  in  1874  qnoted 
Lederer  as  authority  for  this  use.  Lederer,  however,  says  Plusia 
Tieitschke;  but  says  also  Plusia  Fabricius,  for  a  section  of  the  genus  in- 
cluding those  not  referable  to  Abrostola;  Staudinger  writes  Plusia  Och- 
senheiinei',  and  this  accords  with  what  I  have  found  in  my  seai-ches 
auiong  the  ancients.  In  none  of  the  Fabrician  works  is  Koctua  subdi- 
vided, though  probably  in  the  Systeina  Glossatoruni  this  was  done.  It 
luay  be  that  Lederer  derives  his  authority  froui  this  unpublished  work; 
but  as  the  matter  Ptands  Ochsenheimer  must  be  credited  with  the 


genus.

In  the  British  Museum  are  types  of  hamifera  and  dyaun,  and  these  are 
unquestionably  alike.  There  are  also  specimens  of  dyaiis  nuder  pre- 
cationis  Wlk.;  but  there  are  no  specimens  of  rofjationis  under  the  label. 
In  the  Berliner  Museum,  however,  is  a  series  of  South  American  speci- 
mens marked  rogationis  Gn.,  and  among  them  is  a  specimen  i'rom  Boll, 
Texas,  exactly  like  dyaus.  Guenee  mentions  his  species  as  from  divers 
collections,  not  rare,  and  gives  "  Am.  Sept."  as  one  of  the  localities. 
His  comparative  description  applies  perfectly,  and  though  T  have  not 
seen  absolute  types,  I  make  no  doubt  the  Berlin  specimens  are  correctly 
named  and  that  dyaus  Grt.,  is  the  same  si)ecies.  Hamifera  is  recorded 
from  Brazil  and  Venezuela,  covering  thus  the  localities  given  by 
Guenee.

(luen^e's  type  is  in  the  British  Museum  and  the  specimens  from  the 
Grote  collection  are  like  it.  Califomica  Speyer  is  a  slight  variety  of 
OM,  and  notof  ()ramw/a,  as  Speyer  thought.  The  California  localities  for 
(famma  are  probably  based  on  this  species.  J)r,  Strccker  states  very 
positively  that  his  California  examples  are  gamma.  Mr.  Edwards's 
variety  is  scarcely  worthy  a  name.

pared the  European  and  American  species  and  give  the  above  as 
the  present  status  of  the  literature.  Mr.  Butler's  reference  to 
H-mtreum  Gn.,  is  wild.  In  the  Berliner  Museum  there  is  a  specimen 
labeled  cchinocystis  Behr,  received  from  Boll,  Texas.  I  am  inclined  to 
believe  the  labeling  authentic,  and  the  very  brief  des(!ription  is 
n(it  contradictory  in  any  way.  It  has  been  referred,  doubtfully,  to 
jKixipha'a;  but  this  does  not  agree  with  what  little  is  said.  The  eco- 
nomic bibliography  is  large.

The  type  is  in  the  British  Museum,  and  is  like  the  specimens  I  have

The  relation  of  the  three  preceding  to  the  present  genus  can  not  be 
considered  as  settled.  In  the  Bull.  Bklu.  Ent.  Soc,  v,  30,  I  had  united 
them  all  as  Basilodes,  which  is  perhaps  too  radical  a  procedure.  As 
new  species  have  been  and  will  be  added,  the  relations  will  become 
more  clear.  Some  of  the  species  of  Plmia  will  find  a  place  here  1  think, 
and  perhaps  some  other  species  elsewhere  referred  at  present.

With  this  genus  begins  that  series  treated  by  me  ten  years  ago  in 
vol.  X,  of  the  Transactions  of  the  American  EntoniMlogical  Society  under 
the  title,  "  Synopsis  of  the  North  American  Heliothinae."  This  was 
my  first  monographic  paper,  and  somewhat  crude.  It  has  proved  itself 
accurate  enough  as  to  tacts,  but  somewhat  too  radical  in  some  of  its 
conclusions.  Larger  material  has  modified  my  views  as  to  the  stand- 
ing of  some  species,  and  I  have  made  some  changes  of  sequence.  As 
a  whole,  however,  I  have  retained  the  results  of  that  work,  adding 
largely  to  the  bibliography.

I  use  this  generic  term  instead  of  uniting  the  two  species  with  ffeli- 

othis,  because,  though  very  closely  allied,  they  can  be  separated  and  an 

overloading  of  the  genus  prevented.    The  only  apparent  difference  is 

in  the  wing  form,  their  proportion  to  the  body,  and  in  the  pattern  of 

maculation.

ill  which  he  makes  the  species  equal  A.  inflata  Wallengren,  Wien.  Ent. 
Monatschr.,  1860,  iv,  172,  from  Honolulu,  and  suggests  that  paradoxus 
may  be  only  a  paler  form.  Mr.  Butler  may  be  right  in  his  reference, 
but  the  species  seemed  to  me  distinct,  though  near  allies.  Under  the 
circumstances  I  prefer  to  hold  both  species  as  above,  foi"  the  present.

I  use  this  term  here  in  the  same  broad  sense  in  which  I  used  it  in 
njy  lievisiou  of  tb<i  Heliotliiuie,  'I  nun*.  Am.  Ent.  Soc.,  x,  225.  It  is 
quite  likely  that  the  large  number  of  additional  species  constantly 
turning  up  may  require  its  sulxUvision  and  the  use  of  some  of  the 
generic  terms  discarded  by  me.  Tlie  line  of  divisi<m  may  perhaps  be 
that  indicated  in  the  Kevisionj  but  a  Ix'tter  may  be  found  on  renewed 
study.    The  genera  included  nnder  the  above  term  are:

Besides  these,  Mr.  Grote  has,  on  the  characters  pointed  out  by  me, 

used  the  terms  Trichosellm  and  CUmidia  in  his  Kevised  Check  List  of 

1891.    Some  of  these  names  may  come  into  use  later:  but  of  tliese 

Lygntnthoecia  has  perhaps  the  weakest  of  all  claims  to  consideration. 

Of  the  species  treated  in  the  abov  e  revision,  the  tibial  armature  and

Both  the  types  are  in  the  British  Museum.  After  renewed  examina-

Aciitilinia  is  darker  and  has  the  margins  of  the  lines  more  emphasized; 
but  this  fades  gradually  into  the  separata  form.  I  was  in  error  in  using 
this  latter  name  for  the  .si)ecies,  since  acutilinea  was  earlier  described. 
I  was  also  in  error  in  making  balba  and  walsinghami  synonymous  with 

this  species.

A  type  specimen  is  in  the  Edwards  collection,  while  a  very  fine

species  is  perfectly  distinct  from  separata  and  that  my  reference  in 
1882  was  hasty  and  based  on  insufficient  material.  The  specimen  in

Guenee's  type  is  the  Oberthiir  collection.  I  have  not  been  able  to 
locate  Mr.  Grote's  type.  Mr.  Grote  described  from  a  number  of  8i)eci- 
uiens  from  various  collections.  The  two  namf  3  seem  to  refer  to  the 
sexes  and  not  to  distinct  varieties.

Gueueo's  type  came  from  the  Coll.  Feisthamcl — where  that  is  at  pres- 
ent, I  can  not  say.  The  whereabouts  of  the  Grote  &  Robinson  type  is 
also  unknown  to  me.  It  is  one  of  the  species  that  should  be  in  the 
collection  of  the  American  Entomological  Society.

Looks  like  an  Aletiu  at  (list  sight,  with  a  small  black  orbicular,  and  a

The  types  are  all  Id  the  collection  of  the  American  Entonioloffical 
Society.  The  differences  between  them  consist  in  the  relative  distinct- 
ness of  the  maculation,  the  discal  and  basal  black  spot  of  secondaries 
disappearing  entirely  in  mortua.  In  retaining  the  term  paekardii  for 
this  species  instead  of  mortua,  which  has  priority  by  half  a  page,  1  feel 
sure  that  I  am  in  accord  with  Mr.  Grote's  wishes  on  the  subject.

The  type  of  dornihitea  is  the  same  as  the  tuherculum  of  the  Grote 
collection,  which  I  believe  to  be  corio(^tly  identified.  The  fore  tibiie 
have  one  inner  and  twoonter  claws.  In  appearance  the  species  resem- 
bles lyn,r;  but  the  median  and  s.  t.  lines  are  more  ragged,  median  space

The  type  is  in  the  British  Mnseum  and  is  a  species  I  had  not  before

The  type  is  in  the  British  Museum.  It  is  a  yellow  winded  Anarta  in

is  followed  by  dark  sxK)ts,and  on  the  secondaries  the  outer  black  band 
is  not  defined.

locality,  New  York,  given  by  Mr.  Morrison  for  O.  perpura,  is  certainly  an 
error.  Mr.  Butler,  from  the  specimens  before  him,  suggests  (Entomol- 
ogist, XXIV,  293)  that  impingens  is  near  to  nivaria,  but  from  my  knowl-

In  the  British  Museum  there  is  a  specimen  apparently  labeled  by 
Guen^e^  and  this  is  undoubtedly  a  variety  of  the  preceding.  Mr.  Grote 
cites  HerrichScheeffer's  figure  of  onagrm  in  error  to  this  species;  but  I 
am  not  sure  if  he  is  correct.  At  all  events  further  study  is  required  to 
settle  the  matter.

Mr.  Morrison's  type  is  in  the  Tepper  collection ;  Mr.  Grote's  is  in  the 
British  Museum.  Mr.  Butler  has  made  this  species  the  type  of  a  new 
genus,  Eumeatleta;  with  what  justice,  I  am  not  prepared  to  say.  The 
fact  that  I  do  not  use  the  genus  here  indicates  only  that  it  was  pub- 
lished so  late  that  the  addition  referring  to  it  was  made  in  proof.  I 
did  not  see  the  type  of  AnthophUa  flammicincta  at  the  British  Museum ; 
but  the  species  is  so  well  marked  that  I  have  no  hesitation  in  accepting 
Mr.  Butler's  determination.    He  suggests  that  the  species  may  be

M.  Guenee  gave  New  York  as  the  locality;  but  nothing  on  the  speci- 
men itself  nor  in  the  record  indicates  where  it  really  came  from ;  it  has 
the  Doubleday  label  and  that  is  all.  The  insect  itself  is  very  peculiar; 
it  has  a  thick  truncated  tuft  of  hair  at  the  base  of  primaries;  the  palpi 
like  rieonectyptera  and  altogether  it  has  the  look  of  a  tropical  species.  1 
do  not  believe  for  an  instant  that  it  came  from  New  York,  and  prefer  to 
drop  it  from  our  lists  as  not  of  our  fauna,  until  the  contrary  is  proved 
by  new  specimens.

Habitat.— With  the  preceding. 

The  synonomy  given  above  is  the  result  of  a  very  clever  study  of  the 
genus  by  Mr.  M.  V.  Slingerland,  who  demonstrated  that  the  two  species 
were  usually  confused  in  colh'ctions,  and  identilied  all  the  names  with 
the  proper  species.  Walker's  tyjtes  are  in  the  British  ^luseum,  and  all 
his  specimens  are,  I  believe,  of  the  erechtca  form.  P.  amplissima  Wlk., 
which  had  also  been  referred  here  is  really  Paralldia  biHtriaris;  on  the 
other  hand  Poaphila  patihilis  Wlk.,  undoubtedly  belongs  here.  Pha- 
Iwna  spadix  Cram.,  has  been  referred  by  Mr.  Crote  as  the  feiimle  of 
crechtea,  and  Walker  made  the  figure  the  type  and  only  species  of  his 
genus  Cissusa,  without  ever  having  seen  an  cxam]>le.  Mr.  81ingerland 
called  my  attention  to  the  fact  that  the  tigure  could  scarcely  be  meant

for  erevhiea.  An  examination  of  Cramer's  work  proved  that  lie  was 
corre<*t,  and  that  the  figure  referred  to  the  form  named  T(vniovampa 
retfeUt  by  Mr.  Morrison.  A  very  closely  allied  form  has  been  described 
in  SynedoUla  by  Mr.  Orote,  and  it  is  not  improbable  that  Mr.  Edwards' 
genus  may  have  to  give  phice  to  Walker's  CisHma. 

Mr.  Slingerland's  work  has  not  yet  appeared  at  date  of  writing, 
hence  could  not  be  specifically  referred  to.

With  this  genus  begins  a  series  of  forms  similar  in  appearance  and 
habitus,  and  leading  to  Catocala.  There  are  numerous  species  described, 
and  very  few  collections  have  more  than  a  fair  percentage  of  them. 
In  some  of  the  genera  the  range  of  variation  is  very  great,  and  it  is 
very  probable  that  there  will  be  a  very  large  reduction  in  the  number 
qf  si)ecie8  when  they  are  once  well  known.  In  many  cases  the  sexes 
are  extremely  dissimilar  and  have  been  described  as  separate  species.

Mr.  Moes(!hler's  i)aper,  above  cited,  should  be  referred  to  for  the 
rather  involved  synonymy  of  the  species,  grounded  in  a  very  curious 
error  made  by  Gueni^'e.  It  is  at  least  questionable  whether  the  true

and  Bog.,  if  not  indeed  the  same.  The  latter  species  is  in  the  Berliner

Genus  CATOCALA  Schrank. 
1802.  Schrank,  Fauna  Boica,  ii,  2,  158. 

In  this  genus  I  have  made  no  original  studies  and  no  comparisons. 
The  8i)ecie8  have  been  great  favorites  with  collectors,  and  much  has 
been  written  concerning  their  habits  and  variations.  Mr.  Grote  and  Mr. 
Hy.  Edwards  have  devoted  special  attention  to  the  genus;  and,  lastly, 
Dr.  Hulst  has  given  a  monographic  revision  in  the  Bulletin  of  the 
Brooklyn  Entomological  Society,  vii,  pp.  15-56,  1884,  in  which  the 
species  are  separated  on  structural  peculiarities.  This  revision  is  fol- 
lowed here  in  essentials,  and  must  be  consulted  in  any  study  of  the 
genus.  The  departures  from  the  order  given  in  the  publication  cited 
are  all  such  as  Dr.  Hulst  has  himself  suggested  in  the  check  list  of 
Lepidoptera  edited  by  me.  I  have  not  kept  up  my  references  as  curv- 
fully  in  this  genus  as  in  some  others,  but  I  do  not  think  I  have  omitted 
anything  really  important.  A  great  many  mere  notes  of  captures  and 
of  habits  are  not  referred  to,  though  interesting  in  themselves  and  val- 
uable to  the  student  of  geographical  distribution.  I  did  not  examine 
the  British  Museum  series,  and  therefore  am  not  to  be  considered  as 
indorsing  the  correctness  of  any  synonymy  given.  My  notes  concern- 
ing the  location  of  type  specimens  are  meager,  but  there  are  few  genera 
in  which  the  literature  is  so  good  and  the  reference  to  actual  types  so 
seldom  necessary.  Most  of  the  Hulst  types  are  in  the  Rutgers  Colh'ge 
collection.  Mr.  Grote  and  Mr.  Edwards  have  both  examined  the 
British  Museum  collectiou,  and  their  references  are  probably  accurate.

otherwise  replace.  Guenee's  species  based  on  Abbot's  figures  have

The  type  of  junctura  is  in  the  British  Miiseiiiii;  that  of  icahhii  is,  I 
believe,  destroyed;  that  o(  arizonce  is  in  the  collection  of  the  American 
Entomological  Society;  that  of  aspasia  is  in  the  Strecker  collection, 
that  of  Cassandra  is  in  the  Edwards  collection,  while  tliat  of  sara  is,  I 
believe,  with  Prof.  French. 

This  species  has  made  as  much  bad  blood  as  almost  any  other  Amer- 
ican noctuid,  and  even  now  the  synonomy  above  given  will  probably  be 
questioned  by  some.

Catocala  adultera  Hinzo,  recorded  by  Motschulsky  in  his  Etudes, 
1857,  p.  47,  as  from  California,  has  been  omitted  for  want  of  proper 
authentication.  It  is  likely  that  one  of  the  common  Pacific  slope 
species  resembling  adultera  somewhat,  was  mistaken  for  it.

The  Guen^e  and  Walker  types  are  in  the  British  Museum.  Mr. 
Grote's  type  I  have  not  seen;  but  have  seon  a  number  of  .s])(H'iineiis 
named  by  him.  Walker's  species  was  desii^ibed  without  locality  and 
in  such  a  way  as  to  be  not  readily  rciiogiii/.ablo.  As  FagUana  has  only 
the  one  species,  it  niust  be  used  in  preference  to  Mr.  Grote's  generic 
term,  under  the  rules.  On  the  location  of  the  genus  I  express  no 
opinion.  Guence  considers  it  Leucaniid.  Mr.  Grote  places  it  in  its 
present  position  on  characters  that  seem  valid  to  him. 


Genus  PHURYS  Gn. 
1852.  Gn.,  Spec.  Gen.,  Noct.,  in,  303. 

The  genera  in  this  series  need  revision.  The  ditterences  between 
CcUptera,  Phurys,  and  some  species  of  PoaphiUi  are  «lifticult  to  make 
out;  but  I  have  in  most  cases  left  matteis  as  they  were,  since  any 
changes  here  coidd  be  only  tentative  and  liable  to  further  change  on 
critical  study.  There  are,  also,  a  number  of  Verzeichniss  genera  that 
have  not  been  applied,  and  which  will  probably  have  to  be  used  to 
replace  one  or  more  of  the  terms  adopted  here.  They  are  all  indicated 
in  the  synonymy.    The  specific  unions  are  all  correct  I  believe.

The  type  is  with  M.  Oberthiir.  In  the  British  Museum  are  spe<*i

agreeing  with  his  description.  They  are  closely  allied ;  but  in  vinculum 
the  orbicular  is  present  and  the  snbterminal  dotted  line  is  distinct. 
The  vinculum  of  the  Grote  collection  and  of  American  collections  gen- 
erally is  the  herbarum  of  Guen^e  according  to  these  specimens,  and  I 
have  accordingly  cited  hi/asciata  Bates  to  this  species.  Mr.  Bates  re- 
ferred his  8i)ecies  to  vinculum  on  my  authority,  and  what  I  knew  as 
vinculum  was  what  Mr.  Grote  had  so  named.

Types  of  Guenee's  species  are  in  both  the  London  and  Paris  Museums, 
and  are  like  the  type  of  obsolcta  in  the  liritish  JVIuseuni.  Mr.  Grote 
based  his  name  obsoleta  on  what  he  identilled  as  Guenee's  var.  «,  of  P. 
quadrifilaris,  and  misidentliied  deleta.  The  deleta  of  the  Grote  col- 
lection is  the  contempta  Bdv.,  as  identified  by  Guenee.  It  is  probable 
that  this  error  is  repeated  in  all  the  American  collections  deriving  their 
determinations  through  Mr.  Grote.

very  like  erasa  in  habitus  and  maculation  and  seems  to  differ  only  in 
the  much  paler  ground  color.  It  is  much  paler  than  the  herbieola  of 
the  Grote  collection;  but  it  is  not  at  all  unlikely  that  intermediate 
sjiecimens  will  be  found  and  that  herbieola  is  a  washed-out  erasa,

black  and  distinct.  The  Walker  types  are  in  the  British  Museum  nnd 
are  both  referable  here.  Roseicosta  Gn.,  was  described  after  a  drawing 
by  Abbot,  and  Gueuee  himself  suspected  its  identity  with  ruhricostu.

wovmwl  pyralis.  Mr.  Grote's  genus  has  priority  by  two  or  throe  months,

The  type  is  in  the  American  Entomological  So(uety'scoliection.  The 
species  is  exactly  like  piiralis  in  maculation,  but  the  bright  yellow  is 
replaced  by  a  uniform  rusty  brown.  !  (  even  in  the  type  a  yel!owi.sh

The  type  of  moUifera  is  in  the  British  Museum  and  is  correctly  re- 
ferred. Mr.  Grote  has  placed  Hormisa  abnorptalis  to  this  same  foz-ni ; 
but  this  is  an  error:  it  is  really  Litognatha  nuhUifa»cia.  The  types  of 
effuHalin  and  coneisa  are  in  the  collection  of  the  Kntoinolopcal  Society 
of  Ontario,  and  these  have  been  positivt'ly  referred  to  wniula  hy  Mr. 
Grote.  The  type  of  herminioides  ,  from  the  same  collection,  was  re- 
ferred to  Epizeuxin  by  Mr.  Grote.  If  this  generic  reference  is  correct, 
the  description  will  apply  to  aimitla  rather  than  americalw^  and  1  have

to  Epizntxia  wmula,  and  at  first  sight  this  api)ears  correct,  from  the 
rubbed  condition  of  the  specimen;  but  more  careful  comparisons  show 
that  the  species  named  by  Mr.  Grote  nubiHfa»cia  is  represented.  The 
present  species  is  fairly  to  be  considered  the  type  of  Hormisa,  and  must

(Juen^e's  types  are  probably  with  IVf.  Oberthiir.  The  Walker  typos 
are  in  the  British  Museum.  They  agree  with  each  otlier  and  with  the 
specimens  identified  by  Mr.  Orote  as  disvoloralis.  Walker  did  not  really 
recognize  Guen^e's  genus  and  described  a  number  of  species  belonging 
to  it  under  Hermiuia  and  Hypcna.  Curiously  enough,  nearly  all  of 
Walker's  Deltoids  can  be  recognized  from  the  description.  1  tried  to 
recognize  the  species  before  I  exi)ected  to  have  the  chance  to  study 
them  autoptically,  and  in  every  ca«e  my  identification  proved  coriect. 
Under /flWactfl7»«,  Walker's  first  specimen  from  which  the  description 
was  drawn  is  discoloralis,  while  the  others  are  brevirogtralis.

Types  are  in  the  collection  American  Entomological  Society  and  in 

the  British  Museum.    This  seems  to  me  only  a  larger  and  paler  form 

of  reatrictalis.    The  palpal  characters  pointed  out  by  Mr.  Grote  are 

evanescent,  I  believe;  but  it  will  require  further  study  to  state  this 

positively.

Walker's  type  is  in  the  British  Museum.  Types  of  the  Grote  species 
are  in  the  collection  of  the  American  Entomological  Society  and  in  the 
British  Museum.  From  a  specimen  named  by  Walker  in  the  D'Urban 
collection,  Mr.  Grote  referred  this  name  to  Bleptina  caradrinalia  (Can. 
Ent.,  IX,  29).  It  is  probable  that  this  is  only  a  small,  dark  form  of 
8obrialis  {reatrictalia).

A  specimen  labeled  humuH  is  in  the  Harris  collection  at  the  Boston 
Society  of  Natural  History,  and  is  presumably  a  type.  The  t;j'pe  of 
evanidalis  I  have  not  seen.  That  of  germanalis  is  in  the  British  Mu- 
seum and  is  normal  humuli.  In  the  same  collection  is  the  ty])e  of 
olivacea,  which  scarcely  deserves  a  varietal  name.  The  type  of  albo- 
punctata is  in  the  Tepper  collection,  an«l  is  a  very  dark,  almost  black, 
form  from  Washington.  But  for  a  very  large  series  from  widely  diver- 
gent localities  I  would  have  considered  this  Pacific  coast  form  specifi- 
cally distinct.  A  series  from  British  Columbia  recently  received  places 
the  relationship  beyond  reasonable  doubt.

The  type  of  the  Walker  species  is  in  the  British  Musenm.  Both  the 
Grote  types  are  in  the  collection  of  the  American  Entomological 
Hociety.  I  ose  Walker's  generic  term  in  pref(6rence  to  Tortricodeti, 
used  in  my  list  of  Lepidoptera,  because  the  South  American  species 
seen  by  me  resemble  our  species  less  than  the  generic  description 
would  indicate.
